Simulating drifting fish aggregating device trajectories to identify potential interactions with endangered sea turtles. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Purse‐seine fishers using drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs), mainly built with bamboo, plastic buoys, and plastic netting, to aggregate and catch tropical tuna, deploy 46,000–65,000 dFADs per year in the Pacific Ocean. Some of the major concerns associated with this widespread fishing device are potential entanglement of sea turtles ...

Effects of management objectives and rules on marine conservation outcomes

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Understanding the relative effectiveness and enabling conditions of different area‐based management tools is essential for supporting efforts that achieve positive biodiversity outcomes as area‐based conservation coverage increases to meet newly set international targets.

Combining otolith chemistry and genetics to infer the population structure of yellow snapper Lutjanus argentiventris

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Developing a metapopulation framework contributes to the understanding of spatial processes and structures in populations, providing basic information for conservation biology. However, the extent to which the metapopulation structure differs geographically and across life history stages is unexplored for most fishes.

Integrating local ecological knowledge, ecological monitoring, and computer simulation to evaluate conservation outcomes

Conservation Letters, Volume 15, Issue 6, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract Successful conservation of long‐lived species requires reliable understanding of long‐term trends and historical baselines. We present a framework for evaluating abundance trends and conservation outcomes for long‐lived marine species by integrating local ecological knowledge (LEK), ecological monitoring, and computer simulation, tested on a ...

Assessing the extinction risk of insular, understudied marine species

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Hydrothermal vents are rare deep‐sea oases that house faunal assemblages with a similar density of life as coral reefs. Only approximately 600 of these hotspots are known worldwide, most only one‐third of a football field in size. With advancing development of the deep‐sea mining industry, there is an urgent need to protect these unique ...

An illicit artisanal fishery for North Pacific white sharks indicates frequent occurrence and high mortality in the Gulf of California

Conservation Letters, Volume 14, Issue 4, July/August 2021., 2021
Abstract Large sharks shape ecosystems across their geographic ranges and have become a top research and conservation priority. Eastern North Pacific (ENP) white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) aggregations off the United States and Mexico are well described, but their population status is currently uncertain.
