The Overlooked Threat of Global Warming on Elasmobranch Fertility

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 41-55, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly recognised as a critical threat to global biodiversity, yet its impacts on reproductive processes remain poorly understood in many marine taxa. Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) represent a particularly vulnerable group due to their peculiar life histories, low fecundity, and diverse reproductive modes.

Length–Weight and Condition Factor of 14 Elasmobranch Species Caught as Bycatch by Artisanal Shrimp Trawls in a Coastal Lagoon System From Northwest Mexico

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ichthyology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The lack of biometric data on chondrichthyan species has impeded the implementation of management strategies essential for the conservation of sharks and rays captured using different fishing gears in coastal ecosystems. This study aims to assess morphometric relationships (length–weight [LW], length–dorsal length [DL], and length–disc width [DW]) and ...

Anthropogenic Factors Drive the Depletion of Fish Functional Β Diversity Within and Outside Two National Reserves in the Peruvian Amazon

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of human activities on fish communities is critical for the effective conservation of Amazonian ecosystems. In this study, we sampled environmental DNA (eDNA) from 17 sites (lakes and rivers) in two Peruvian national reserves, Pacaya‐Samiria and Allpahuayo‐Mishana, using a metabarcoding approach with four genetic ...
