Norwegian Sea Herring Stock Discrimination phase I (NORDISI)

open access: yes, 2009
There is growing concern among fishermen about the migration of North Sea herring into the Norwegian Sea. The Pelagic Freezer-trawler Association therefore commissioned IMARES to develop a technique to monitor possible catches of North Sea herring in the

Foraging Ecology and Fisheries Interactions of Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Inferred From Strandings in Western Iberian Atlantic Waters

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a resident species along the Portuguese mainland coast, yet knowledge of its stranding patterns and feeding ecology is scarce. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of strandings (n = 264, from 1980 to 2019) and feeding ecology based on stomach content analysis (n = 43 from 1997 to

Early and Larval Development of the Marine Species Grey Triggerfish (Balistes capriscus, Gmelin, 1789) and the Use of Different Organisms as First Food Sources

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to provide an initial description of the embryology and larval development of Balistes capriscus species obtained from natural spawning in captivity. The study also aimed to assess the stocking density and the impact of offering four types of live food as the initial feed during the larviculture phase. Observations of

Limited Contribution of Hatchery‐Reared Pikeperch to a Wild Population in a Temperate Reservoir: Evidence From Otolith Microchemistry

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Fish stocking is a common management practice used to mitigate the effects of overfishing and other threats to wild fish populations. It is mainly employed in freshwater ecosystems with complex and variable strategies (different timings, fish lengths and origins), making its effectiveness challenging to assess.

Shaping research in marine functional connectivity for integrated and effective marine science and management

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1143-1180, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

Methods to estimate marine functional connectivity: A primer

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.
Abstract Organism movement is a key process in the transfer of individuals, genes, functional traits, matter, and energy among habitat patches, at sea and across the land–sea interface. The resulting fluxes, collectively termed marine functional connectivity (MFC), underpin planetary health and an array of ecosystem services.

Feeding Ecology of Gould's Arrow Squid Nototodarus gouldi (Cephalopoda: Ommastrephidae) in Aotearoa New Zealand Waters

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Squids are important components of marine ecosystems because of their role as both predator and prey. Across the Tasman Sea, Gould's arrow squid (Nototodarus gouldi) is a commercially targeted ommastrephid squid that supports an economically important fishery.

How Speculation Became Accepted Truth: Evidence that Aotearoa New Zealand Freshwater Eels Do Not Seem to Spawn “Near Tonga” or “East of Samoa”

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.
For several decades, the assumption that Aotearoa New Zealand freshwater eels spawn near Tonga (for longfin, Anguilla dieffenbachii) or east of Samoa (for shortfin, A. australis) has been widely repeated across scientific literature, governmental reports, public resources and community narratives, despite limited direct evidence.
