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 ...

Age and growth of the bigeye thresher shark,Alopias superciliosus, from the pelagic longline fisheries in the tropical northeastern Atlantic Ocean, determined by vertebral band counts [PDF]

Aquatic Living Resources, 2011
The bigeye thresher, Alopias supercilious, is commonly caught as bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries tar- geting swordfish. Little information is yet available on the biology of this species, however. As part of an ongoing study, observers sent aboard fishing vessels have been collecting set of information that includes samples of vertebrae, with the

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.

A glimpse into the genetic diversity of the Peruvian seafood sector: Unveiling species substitution, mislabeling and trade of threatened species.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Peru is one of the world's leading fishing nations and its seafood industry relies on the trade of a vast variety of aquatic resources, playing a key role in the country's socio-economic development.

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.

From Data Deficient to Big Data in Shark Conservation

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 977-990, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Citizen science is increasingly harnessed worldwide to gather data otherwise requiring a prohibitive investment of funding and time. Meanwhile, the revolution in digital communication offers opportunities from crowdsourcing, big data approaches and social network mining to quickly and cost‐effectively fill major gaps in knowledge necessary to ...

DNA Divers: Volunteer‐based eDNA capture for local and global marine biodiversity monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2431-2447, October 2025.
Abstract Volunteer‐based biodiversity recording is a powerful source of scalable data yet to be used to its full potential by the scientific community. Coastal ecosystems are varied and diverse, making it difficult for managers to identify flexible methods for monitoring biological components.

Limited Evidence for Depth Specialism in Isolated Seamount Reef Predators

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
We investigated how depth influences predatory fish assemblages on seamount reefs in the Coral Sea using remotely operated vehicle surveys across a 100 m depth gradient. Predator abundance and species richness declined significantly with depth; yet assemblage composition remained largely consistent, suggesting many taxa utilise a broad depth range ...
