Abstract Commercial fisheries are increasingly interested in greater social acceptance of their operations and practices. For harvesters, achieving acceptance is complex because expectations arise from many societal groups who can differ greatly in their perceptions. Historically, third‐party certification programmes assisted industry in gaining market

Sifting environmental DNA metabarcoding data sets for rapid reconstruction of marine food webs
Abstract Marine ecosystems are changing rapidly due to ocean warming, overfishing and a raft of other anthropogenic impacts. Such changes are expected to disrupt productivity dynamics and alter marine food webs, with likely negative consequences for ecosystem services.

From scales to armor: Scale losses and trunk bony plate gains in ray‐finned fishes
Abstract Actinopterygians (ray‐finned fishes) are the most diversified group of vertebrates and are characterized by a variety of protective structures covering their integument, the evolution of which has intrigued biologists for decades. Paleontological records showed that the first mineralized vertebrate skeleton was composed of dermal bony plates ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Antarctic cod icefish, Pagothenia borchgrevinki (Perciformes: Nototheniidae) [PDF]
Antarctic icefish Pagothenia borchgrevinki is an ideal model for studying heat stress mechanisms. The complete mitochondrial genome of P. borchgrevinki was sequenced in this study. The genome sequence is 17,299 bp in length, which comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs and a control region. The overall base composition is 20.45% G, 25.11%

Eubrachiella antarctica (Quidor, 1906) (Copepoda)-levels of infection in selected fish species of the family Nototheniidae [PDF]
Infection levels of six fish species-representing the family Nothoteniidae-with external parasite Eubrachiella antarctica (Quidor, 1906) (Copepoda) were studied in the season of 1978/79.
