Reduced Adult Survival Estimated in Areas of Decline of Harbour Seal Populations in Scotland

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We applied mark–recapture models to photo‐ID data from harbour seals at three sites of contrasting population trajectories in Scotland and estimated apparent adult survival and fecundity rates. The results indicate that the causes of the decline are likely acting on adult survival, while evidence that a decrease in fecundity is driving the observed ...

Multidisciplinary studies on a sick-leader syndrome-associated mass stranding of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) along the Adriatic coast of Italy [PDF]

, 2018
Mass strandings of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) are rare in the Mediterranean Sea. Nevertheless, in 2014 a pod of 7 specimens stranded alive along the Italian coast of the Central Adriatic Sea: 3 individuals died on the beach after a few hours ...

Diversity of Amphidomataceae (Dinophyceae) in the Black Sea, including description of Amphidoma pontica sp. nov.

Phycological Research, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 225-248, October 2025.
SUMMARY The dinoflagellate family Amphidomataceae includes the genera Azadinium and Amphidoma, several species of which are known producers of lipophilic toxins known as azaspiracids (AZAs). However, the diversity, abundance, and distribution of this important group of nanoplanktonic dinoflagellates in the Black Sea remain poorly understood. To address

Inhibition of cosmopolitan toxic diatom, Pseudo‐nitzschia, by seaweeds

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 9, Page 2591-2602, September 2025.
Abstract Pseudo‐nitzschia is a genus of harmful algal bloom (HAB)‐forming diatoms that can produce domoic acid (DA), a compound known to cause death and disease in marine wildlife as well as amnesic shellfish poisoning in humans. Here, we show the effects of multiple cultivable seaweeds—Saccharina latissima (sugar kelp), Ulva spp., and Gracilaria spp ...

Long‐term change and seasonal spillover risks of fatal acanthocephalan infection in southern sea otters

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) face numerous risks to population recovery from infectious disease, shark attacks, and biotoxins. Recently, the most significant contributor to fatal infectious disease in sea otters has been acanthocephalan peritonitis (AP) caused by Profilicollis altmani.

Aquatic food security:insights into challenges and solutions from an analysis of interactions between fisheries, aquaculture, food safety, human health, fish and human welfare, economy and environment [PDF]

, 2016
Fisheries and aquaculture production, imports, exports and equitability of distribution determine the supply of aquatic food to people. Aquatic food security is achieved when a food supply is sufficient, safe, sustainable, shockproof and sound ...

How Does Climate Change Influence the Regional Ecological–Social Risks of Harmful Dinoflagellates? A Predictive Study of China's Coastal Waters

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
Climate change is expected to shift the risks posed by harmful dinoflagellates in China's coastal waters. In this study, the ecological–social risk is assessed by considering both the potential presence of these algae and their overlap with coastal populations and mariculture areas.
