Quantifying Mussel Losses From Fish Predation on New Zealand Greenshell Mussel (Perna canaliculus) Farms

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
Fish predation causes significant Greenshell mussel losses in New Zealand. Experimental caging methods found losses due to predation up to 93% in juveniles (25 – 34 mm SL) over 67 days. However, the overall contribution of predation at other production stages remains unclear.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Infectious Diseases Management in Small‐Scale Freshwater Aquaculture in West Africa: Lessons for Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Infectious diseases are an increasing threat to food security, small‐scale livelihoods and the sustainability of aquaculture in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). In sub‐Saharan Africa, aquaculture is expanding rapidly but production systems often remain fragile.

Passive eDNA Sampling as a Promising Tool for Standardizing Wetland Biodiversity Assessments

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
In lentic ponds, where turbidity often hinders standardized active eDNA filtration, passive eDNA traps can capture multi‐taxon communities comparably to active filtration. Community patterns were broadly similar among three different passive sampling membrane materials, supporting passive eDNA traps as a simple, fast, low‐cost approach for scalable ...
