Period of the day drives distinctions in the taxonomic and functional structures of reef fish assemblages. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Circadian processes are key drivers of animal behaviour, influencing patterns of activity, resource partitioning and competition avoidance. Studies evaluating circadian changes on the structure of marine assemblages are lacking, especially for reef fish.

Defining a common language to assess external deformities in free‐ranging cetaceans

Mammal Review, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 189-205, July 2023., 2023
Cetacean species, as predators and biomonitoring models, are subjected to a variety of stressors that may result in poor health, injuries, and persistent marks. These malformations can be used to infer about animals' health, especially if combined with long‐term photographic identification. The main goal of this study was to provide: a broad definition

An assessment of the aquaculture potential of indigenous freshwater food fish of Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Samoa and Tonga as alternatives to farming of tilapia

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 625-644, March 2023., 2023
Abstract An important driver behind introductions for aquaculture of alien fish species into Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) is a lack of knowledge about domestication suitability and specific culture requirements of indigenous taxa.

Physicochemical Characteristics and Nutritional and Biological Properties of Fish Oils in Cameroon: An Overview

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Due to their significant health benefits, fish oils have garnered increasing interest in recent decades. However, Cameroon’s fish oil market remains insignificant, and the few available products are imported, despite the country’s abundant marine resources. Additionally, research on Cameroonian fish oils is relatively recent and scarce. Therefore, this

Ontogenetic shift and feeding habits of the European hake (Merluccius merluccius L., 1758) in Central and Southern Tyrrhenian Sea (Western Mediterranean Sea): A comparison between past and present data

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
This study investigates the feeding habits of European hake in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea. It is a clear example of inverse energy flow between mesopelagic and epipelagic biocenosis. The high occurrence of Euphausiids, Myctophids, and Sternoptychids found in gut contents of juvenile hake showed the importance of energy and organic matter from deeper ...

Offshore platforms as novel ecosystems: A case study from Australia’s Northwest Shelf

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022
We assessed the marine communities at the Wandoo offshore oil platform in northwest Australia, and compared these communities with natural habitats. We found that the marine community at Wandoo more closely resembles that of a natural reef than the community that would have been present prior to the installation of the platform. The Wandoo platform can
