Comparison of Environmental DNA Metabarcoding and Trawl Data Highlights Gear Selectivity of Marine Demersal Fish Surveys on the Faroese Plateau

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
The study compared trawl and eDNA metabarcoding of demersal fish communities in an open ocean environment around the Faroe Islands. eDNA provided a comparable assessment of demersal species biomass and revealed additional spatial information on keystone species known to be under‐sampled by demersal trawls due to size and behavioral traits.

First report of albinism in the South American catfish Imparfinis mirini (Siluriformes: Heptapteridae)

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2017
Albinism is a genetic condition caused by an autosomal recessive gene that affects normal pigmentation in animals. In Neotropical freshwater fish fauna, albinism cases are extremely rare, with only 14 species recorded among more than 6,000 described ...

Assessing sustainable lethal take for great blue heron in the northeastern United States

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
We used Prescribed Take Level (PTL) models to estimate sustainable take limits for great blue heron and aid depredation permitting decisions by the USFWS in the northeastern United States. The PTL models suggested that current lethal take levels are sustainable and that cumulative authorized regional take should not exceed 2,650 individuals per year ...

The occurrence of Contracaecum sp. larvae (Nematoda : Anisakidae) in the catfishClarias gariepinus (Burchell) from Lake Chivero, Zimbabwe

open access: yesOnderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2004
Clarias gariepinus were collected from Lake Chivero, Zimbabwe, and examined for nematode parasites from November 2000 to May 2002. Of the 202 specimens collected, 42.6 % were infected with third-stage larvae of Contracaecum sp. in the body cavity. The

Species‐ and origin‐specific susceptibility to bird predation among juvenile salmonids

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Juvenile salmonids often experience high mortality rates during migration and bird predation is a common source of mortality. Research suggests that hatchery‐reared salmonids are more prone to predation than wild salmonids, and that Atlantic salmon ...

Effects of whitefish speciation on piscivorous birds : A dietary study of piscivorous birds in central and northern Sweden

open access: yes, 2021
The ecological communities we observe today are a product of the bidirectional interactions between ecological and evolutionary processes. Although the effects of ecological processes on population divergence and speciation have been studied extensively, far less is known about the effects of divergence and speciation on ecological dynamics.

A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 342-369, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...

Diets of shags Phalacrocorax aristotelis and cormorants P. carbo in Norway and possible implications for gadoid stock recruitment [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
The diets of shags and cormorants were studied in Norway through analyses of regurgitated pellets. Although this method has many limitations, indications were that both species rely heavily on small gadoids (Gadidae) and sand eels (Ammodytidae) for food ...

Satellite‐Driven Synthesis of Fish Production Dynamics and Carrying Capacity Mechanisms in a High‐Altitude Lake Ecosystem

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study evaluates fish potential production (FPP) and fish carrying capacity index (FCCI) in Qinghai Lake using satellite‐based primary production estimates. Results show increasing FPP trends and spatially heterogeneous FCCI, indicating potential for sustainable fisheries management and guiding restocking efforts in this high‐altitude lake ...
