Abstract Introduction Juvenile coral reef fish face an initial predation‐induced mortality bottleneck with mortality exceeding 60% within 48 hours of settlement. This intense predation, exacerbated by anthropogenic stressors, limits recruitment and contributes to global declines of reef fish populations. Post‐Larval Capture, Culture, and Release (PCCR),

Enhancing coral restoration in the Philippines through governance and policy integration
Abstract Objective Coral restoration is an increasingly used tool to support marine conservation and management, yet its effectiveness is influenced by its integration with coastal policy and governance landscapes. In the Philippines, the rapid expansion of coral restoration projects in recent decades highlighted significant governance challenges, from

From disconnection to coherence: Reframing Indigenous knowledge in the Asia‐Pacific
Abstract Achieving a balanced approach to sustainability in the Asia‐Pacific requires the effective protection, preservation and equitable use of traditional knowledge. Despite recognised contributions to biodiversity conservation and climate adaptation, Indigenous worldviews and knowledge systems remain structurally excluded from statutory regimes ...

Abstract Central arterial stiffening, particularly of the proximal aorta, is increasingly recognised as a pivotal contributor to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. Loss of Windkessel function amplifies pulsatile pressure, reduces diastolic perfusion and accelerates microvascular damage in the brain.

Topic Modeling of Fatty Acid Studies: Evaluating Environmental Changes in Freshwater Ecosystems
ABSTRACT Fatty acids (FAs) are biochemical molecules with vital structural and metabolic functions in all living organisms. Over the last decades, FA analysis in ecological studies has garnered significant attention due to its diverse applicability, such as taxonomic support for species identification, investigations on trophic interactions, and ...

Ecosystems can occupy alternative stable states, maintained by positive feedbacks and critical thresholds. Recovery is often nonlinear, making simple driver reversal insufficient. Effective restoration should target critical thresholds, disrupt degradation‐reinforcing feedbacks and strengthen recovery‐promoting feedbacks.

ABSTRACT This study examines key biometric parameters—length–weight relationships (LWRs), sex ratios, and Fulton's condition factor (K)—for 10 demersal fish species in the coastal waters of southern São Tomé Island: Dentex macrophthalmus, Dentex congoensis, Pagrus caeruleostictus, Lethrinus atlanticus, Lutjanus fulgens, Lutjanus goreensis, Lutjanus ...

ABSTRACT Aquatic ecosystems have been in an alarming state of decline for decades. In particular, estuarine ecosystems have experienced long‐term declines in fish diversity due to factors such as habitat degradation, pollution and altered hydrology. Monitoring these systems is often limited by the difficulty and cost of conventional survey methods.

Performance of Lacustrine Protected Areas (LPAs) on Lake Victoria: A Case of Bulago, Uganda
Bulago Lacustrine Protected Area (LPA) on Lake Victoria, Uganda, serves as a sanctuary for fish stocks and biodiversity. This study assesses fish catch per unit effort (CPUE) within LPA and in fishing grounds outside LPA. Using five years of quarterly data, CPUE outside LPA rises first, then declines due to increased effort, with southern sites ...

ABSTRACT Growth and haematological parameters are used in aquaculture as indicators of the health of cultivated fish in response to changes in diet and the physicochemical conditions of the water. In this study, the physiological status of Totoaba macdonaldi was evaluated based on growth, haematological parameters and blood chemistry in response to two
