Catch Me If You Can: Assessing Sampling Techniques for Threatened Floodplain Wetland Fish

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Floodplain wetlands are declining globally in extent and ecological condition. Changing climates, increasing agricultural activity and invasive species are among the key threats contributing to biodiversity loss, with native fish species increasingly in decline and listed as threatened or endangered. Floodplain wetlands present unique sampling

Killer Whales in the Central Tropical Pacific: Occurrence, Resightings, Morphology, and Acoustics

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Compared to their well‐studied coastal temperate counterparts, killer whales (Orcinus orca) in tropical‐subtropical and oceanic areas are under‐documented. We used sighting, photo‐identification, and acoustic data of killer whales in the central tropical Pacific (CTP), collected from multiple platforms between 2002 and 2023, to assess their ...

Evaluating species at risk in data‐limited fisheries: A productivity–susceptibility analysis for marine aquarium fish

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.
Abstract The marine aquarium trade (MAT) is a significant global industry harvesting millions of wild‐caught, live coral reef fishes for public and private aquaria markets in the United States and Europe annually, while supporting fisher livelihoods in the Indo‐Pacific.

High resolution data reveal fundamental steps and turns in animal movements

Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Animal movement paths display substantial complexity and variability, promoting efforts to identify universal rules and models that best describe them. Using high‐resolution (≥10 Hz) movement from 43 vertebrate species spanning diverse taxa, body sizes, and lifestyles, we show that paths are universally composed of straight‐line steps ...

The Unseen Crisis of Sharks and Rays in Senegal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study presents a conservative quantitative assessment of shark and ray landings and trade in Senegal, revealing extensive exploitation of threatened species. Surveys at two major artisanal processing sites in the Casamance region recorded over 170,000 individuals, mostly rays, with nearly all biomass comprising species at risk of extinction, and ...

Contemporary Methods for Capturing Juvenile Salmonids in the Marine Environment

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 160-178, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Anadromous salmonids play vital roles in marine and freshwater ecosystems. The most abundant of these fishes—Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.)—are integral to coastal ecosystems and communities across the North Pacific Rim, but numerous populations are experiencing dramatic declines, particularly towards the south of their range.

Integration of Multiple Data Types to Document Spatial Effort in a Recreational Fishery for Highly Migratory Species in Relation to Offshore Wind Development

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 33-48, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The expansion of offshore wind interests in US waters has raised concern over potential adverse impacts to fisheries activity and productivity. Yet evidence‐based platforms for assessing those impacts are lacking for many recreational fisheries.
