Bioeconomic analysis of the effects of modifying the trawl extension piece with T90 netting

Scientia Marina, 2018
We assessed the effect of the European discards ban on the profitability of bottom trawlers in a case study fishery (GSA06, NW Mediterranean) in the transition period 2017-2018, when the species that characterize the fishery, viz.

Expanding the Utility of Exome Sequencing in Preventive and Population Genetics

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrier screening is a long‐standing genetic testing process offered to at‐risk couples, with or without a family history, who might have pregnancies affected by an autosomal recessive (AR) or X‐linked (XL) disorder. A total of 276 unrelated individuals, initially referred for rare disorder screening by clinicians, were enrolled in this study ...

Application of a multi-annual generalized depletion model to the assessment of a data-limited coastal fishery in the western Mediterranean

Scientia Marina, 2015
A multi-annual generalized depletion model was applied to a coastal fishery in Vilanova i la Geltrú (western Mediterranean) to assess the exploitation status of striped red mullet (Mullus surmuletus) and cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis), two of the main ...

Biomimetic Nanoparticle Delivering Colchicine to Target Endothelial Inflammation for Atherosclerosis Treatment

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Platelet membrane‐coated layered double hydroxide nanoparticles were engineered to target inflamed endothelium at early‐stage atherosclerosis and enhance therapeutic efficacy. The biomimetic platform improves stability, immune escape, and inflamed vascular cell targeting, resulting in reduced oxidative stress and downregulated adhesion molecules.

Enhancing onboard post-catch vitality of discard Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) for more sustainable Mediterranean trawl fishery

Scientia Marina, 2022
The current European Union fisheries policy encourages improving handling practices to increase the survival of discards. Trawling on the Mediterranean upper slope often generates over 30% of discards of the total catch.

Use of a mixture design to optimize dietary macronutrients for large turbot (Scophthalmus maximus Linnaeus, 1758)

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research
Aim of study: Studies on the dietary needs of turbot fish (Scophthalmus maximus Linnaeus, 1758) have largely focused on the juvenile stage; however, there are not many on the larger (300–500 g) species.

Small-scale fisheries catch more threatened elasmobranchs inside partially protected areas than in unprotected areas

Nature Communications, 2022
Marine protected areas are proposed to protect elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, and rays) but the fishing impact from small-scale fisheries in these areas is unknown.
