Fisheries and Marine Resources of Hawaii and the U.S.-associated Pacific Islands: An Introduction [PDF]
The fisheries of Hawaii and other U.S.-associated islands in the Pacific Ocean are characterized by high diversity, both in the species exploited and the human cultures that exploit them.

Assessing Conflict Potential Between Birds and Small‐Scale Fisheries in Lake Titicaca
ABSTRACT Globally, fisheries bycatch constitutes a threat to aquatic birds. However, while the threat is global, the threat from bycatch in inland fisheries, and from artisanal or small‐scale fishing, is particularly understudied. Here, we present the first attempt to map the vulnerability of birds to fisheries bycatch, and the conflict potential ...

Utilization of A Bioluminescent Pattern in the Encircling Gillnet Fisheries
To investigate the relationship between bioluminescent patterns and targeted fish species that cause this pattern, encircling gillnet sampling was conducted in shallow water (< 12 m) on moonless nights between February 2007 and December 2008 in the northern Aegean Sea, Turkey.

Genetic Structure of Blue Ling, Molva dypterygia, in the North Atlantic
The blue ling, a deep‐water fish in the Northeast Atlantic, has experienced severe population declines since the 1970s due to intensive fishing. Genetic analysis across fjords and offshore regions using 61 SNPs revealed weak but significant differentiation, rejecting the idea of a single randomly mating population.

The Unseen Crisis of Sharks and Rays in Senegal
This study presents a conservative quantitative assessment of shark and ray landings and trade in Senegal, revealing extensive exploitation of threatened species. Surveys at two major artisanal processing sites in the Casamance region recorded over 170,000 individuals, mostly rays, with nearly all biomass comprising species at risk of extinction, and ...

Male Agonistic Behavior on Atlantic Cod Spawning Grounds
The mating system of the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) has been described as a lek, a mating system where male–male aggressions are expected. However, observing aggressions directly in marine environments is challenging. Using accelerometer tags we show that male–male agonistic interactions, inferred from activity levels, are indeed present on natural ...

Bycatch in drift gillnet fisheries: A sink for Indian Ocean cetaceans
In 1992, the UN banned the use of large‐scale pelagic driftnets on the high seas (UNGA Resolution 46/215). Three decades later, however, drift gillnets remain one of the primary fishing gears in the Indian Ocean, accounting for approximately 30% of tuna ...
