Lack of Compliance in Gillnet Fisheries Regulations Increases Risk to a Vulnerable Species
Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 933-948, October 2026.ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of regulatory compliance in a Brazilian gillnet fishery, based on Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking data. Satellite transmissions records, interpreted as proxies for gillnet haulings events, were analyzed and classified using a neural network to assess the level of compliance of the gillnet fleet.

Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback Whales
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices,

The importance of sample size in marine megafauna tagging studies [PDF]
, 2019 Telemetry is a key, widely used tool to understand marine megafauna distribution, habitat use, behavior, and physiology; however, a critical question remains: “How many animals should be tracked to acquire meaningful data sets?” This question has wide ...

Linking the Movement Behavior of the Laptev Sea Walrus to Sea Ice and Resource Dynamics
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT The walrus subspecies inhabiting the Laptev Sea (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) remains one of the least studied walrus taxa and occurs in a region undergoing rapid environmental change driven by climate warming and increasing human activity. We conducted the first satellite telemetry study of walruses in this region, tracking 14 individuals ...
