ABSTRACT Measures of an organism's weight at a given length are often considered reliable indicators of energy reserves or ‘condition’, which can be related to fecundity and risk of mortality. Understanding the impact of environmental change on fish condition may therefore inform sustainable management of human activities in marine ecosystems.

Rent-Maximization versus Competition in the Western and Central Pacific Tuna Fishery [PDF]
Where a fish stock straddles or migrates between country A's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and country B's EEZ, or the high seas, vesting ownership rights in the stock with A does not ensure efficient harvesting of the stock.

Pelagic fisheries of the Indian Ocean [PDF]
The marine fisheries of the world can be broadly grouped under two major categories, namely demersal fisheries and pelagic fisheries. Demersal fisheries are confined to the continental shelf and conti.

Decarbonizing Fisheries Through Ensuring Healthy Stock Status
ABSTRACT Industrial capture fisheries depend on fossil fuels, which tend to dominate both greenhouse gas emissions and operational costs of this form of seafood production. Improving energy efficiency is, in addition to shifting to alternative fuels, a crucial path towards decarbonizing fisheries.

Our study investigates the environmental and astronomical drivers of olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) hatching success at Batu Hiu Beach, Indonesia. We demonstrate that air temperature is the dominant predictor of hatching outcomes, while Earth–Moon distance exerts an additional, significant influence independent of humidity and tidal effects ...

SPATIAL VARIATION IN RISK PREFERENCES AMONG ATLANTIC AND GULF OF MEXICO PELAGIC LONGLINE FISHERMEN [PDF]
This paper shows the effects of spatially aggregating data in an analysis of fishing site choice among Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico longline fishers. Parameter estimates of expected utility, measures of risk, and estimates of welfare losses from area ...

Apparent abundance of yellowfin and bigeye tuna in the inshore, off shore and near oceanic ranges around Ceylon [PDF]
Sri Lanka entered oceanic longline fishery in 1967 and have limited the areas of operation to the central equatorial belt, thus limiting their fishery to the yellowfin and bigeye tunas.

Finite mixture models revealed that older, larger harbor seals specialize in salmon predation at setnets in Hokkaido, Japan, suggesting targeted management strategies focusing on these specialist individuals could effectively reduce fishery conflicts while protecting the broader seal population.

Abstract Amid increasing anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, standardised biodiversity monitoring is critical for assessing biodiversity change. Marine hard‐bottom habitats, though ubiquitous and biodiverse, present challenges for biodiversity monitoring due to their complex structure and limited accessibility. Autonomous reef monitoring structures (
