Reconstructing past fisheries catches for large pelagic species in the Indian Ocean
Comprehensive catch data are fundamental to support the sustainable management of large pelagic fisheries. However, catch data reported by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) on behalf of its member countries currently under-represent the extent of ...

Bio-economic indicators of fisheries: impact of variations in landings and fish size on market prices in Istanbul Fish Market [PDF]
Fisheries are of immense importance to Mediterranean countries, for protein, employment and livelihoods. Studies addressing the factors affecting fish price dynamics are of interest to examine their drivers as prices often dictate target fisheries.

Pelagic fisheries in European waters target small pelagic fish such as herring, mackerel, horse mackerel, blue whiting and silver smelt. The Dutch pelagic fishery is performed with pelagic freezer trawlers. Catches are pumped from the cod-end on board into the Refrigerated Seawater (RSW) tanks.

Shark conservation hindered by lack of habitat protection
Many of the world’s shark populations are in decline, indicating the need for improved conservation and management. Well managed and appropriately located marine parks and marine protected areas (MPAs) have potential to enhance shark conservation by ...

Climate-driven deoxygenation elevates fishing vulnerability for the ocean's widest ranging shark
Climate-driven expansions of ocean hypoxic zones are predicted to concentrate pelagic fish in oxygenated surface layers, but how expanding hypoxia and fisheries will interact to affect threatened pelagic sharks remains unknown.

Hawaii's diverse pelagic fisheries supply the bulk of the State's total catch. The largest Hawaii fishery is the recently expanded longline fishery, which now lands about 4,400 metric tons (t) of broadbill swordfish, Xiphias gladius; 1,500 t of bigeye tuna, Thunnus obesus, and 3,000 t of other pelagic species annually.

The smooth hammerhead shark, Sphyrna zygaena, is a cosmopolitan semipelagic shark captured as bycatch in pelagic oceanic fisheries, especially pelagic longlines targeting swordfish and/or tunas.
