ABSTRACT Cryptic marine species complexes with plastic morphology, shallow divergence, and broad distributions are among the hardest taxonomic problems in zoology. The Ostrea stentina complex, reported across the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indo‐Pacific, is a striking example. We present the first topotype‐anchored integrative revision of this complex,

The Use of Suspended Substrate to Facilitate Juvenile Mussel Recruitment in Restored Mussel Reefs
Mussel reefs have been depleted globally by overfishing and habitat degradation, but the advent of reef restoration has produced promising results in terms of adult mussel survival and biodiversity enhancement. However, an absence of juvenile recruitment into restored mussel reefs is regularly cited as jeopardising their persistence and expansion. This

Bioeroding sponges are recognised pests in shellfish fisheries, as their boring activity can reduce market value, contribute to oyster mortality and cause economic losses. In New Zealand, bioeroding sponges in the shell‐burrowing alpha form are frequently observed in shells of the flat oyster Ostrea chilensis, a historically and culturally important ...

Entering the Era of Directly Supporting Society With Observation‐Based Ocean Acidification Data
Abstract Ocean acidification is a growing concern for many nations around the world. However, our capacity to monitor changes in carbonate chemistry with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution, has until now, been limited, which has impeded effective action and decision‐making at international, national, and regional levels.

Diversity of Ascetosporeans Associated With Feather Hydroids in New Caledonia
ABSTRACT Ascetosporea is a group of parasitic protists within Endomyxa that primarily infect marine invertebrates and can cause serious damage to fishery resources such as oysters and prawns. Although approximately 50 species have been formally described, environmental DNA (eDNA) studies suggest that their diversity remains largely underestimated, with

Compilation of information on the interaction of reef sharks with the reef line fishery in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park: final report to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority [PDF]
[Extract] Three data sets were examined to define the level of interaction of reef associated sharks with the commercial Coral Reef Fin Fish Fishery (CRFFF) within the Great Barrier Reef. Data were examined from; 1) fishery logbooks from 1989-2006; 2) an
