Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 519-536, May 2026.ABSTRACT Rebuilding fish stocks to levels above which they produce Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) is a management aim for all European commercially exploited stocks. Progress is typically monitored against the fishing mortality that produces MSY in the long term (FMSY), however, the corresponding biomass target (BMSY) is rarely evaluated nor reported.

Mollusk assemblages as records of past and present ecological status
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016 AMBI and Bentix are widely used benthic indices for guiding remediation decisions under two major pieces of environmental legislation in Europe — the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD).

Taxonomic Complexity and Conservation Implications of Mediterranean Mesophotic Rhodolith Beds
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Rhodolith beds are bioconstructions formed by coralline algae (Rhodophyta: Corallinophycidae) and are ecologically important worldwide because they provide habitats that support diverse biocenoses. However, conservation efforts are limited by gaps in our knowledge of their spatial distribution and species composition.

Potential economic impacts of achieving good environmental status in Black Sea fisheries
Ecology and Society, 2014 The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) mandates that European Union (EU) member states achieve Good Environmental Status (GEnS) based on an ecosystem-based approach to management. For commercial fisheries, the primary target under the MSFD is one

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Consistent monitoring of seawater spectrophotometric pH on the total hydrogen ion scale (pHT) has been questioned by an evolving method, with changes in parameterization and the purity of the meta‐cresol purple (mCP). Using real seawater samples, we demonstrate that spectrophotometric pHT measurements obtained with unpurified (UNPUR) and ...

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 848-868, April 2026.ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.
