Morphometric Relationships, Condition Indices and Size‐Dependent Morphometric Shifts in Four Lobster Species From Southeastern Brazil

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Reliable morphometric relationships are essential for integrating fisheries datasets collected under different sampling protocols, yet regional information remains scarce for several commercially exploited Brazilian lobsters. We quantified species‐ and sex‐specific morphometric relationships for four commercially important lobster species ...

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.

Seasonal Variation in Carbon Dynamics in the Lower Tocantins River: Influence of Discharge and Environmental Drivers

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 7, Page 1604-1617, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Tropical rivers play a key role in regional carbon budgets, yet greenhouse gas (GHG) dynamics in regulated systems remain poorly understood. This study investigates the seasonal variability of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) concentrations, isotopic composition (δ13C), and river‐atmosphere fluxes in the lower Tocantins River, a ...
