Crustaceans as Key Prey: Insights Into the Dietary Partitioning of Four Carnivorous Fishes in the Nansha Islands, South China Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
This study, through a combination of morphological analysis, molecular identification, and stable isotope analysis, confirmed that crustaceans are the primary food source for these fishes. Small carnivorous fishes reduce niche overlap by selectively feeding on different types of crustaceans—a strategy supported by the abundant crustacean resources in ...

Effect of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Cycle on the Catches and Habitat Patterns of Three Swimming Crabs in the Taiwan Strait

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The swimming crabs is a crucial predator species in benthic habitats and a high value in commercial fishery industries in subtropical and tropical Asia. The climate variability caused by El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events has substantial impacts ...

The value of conditional prediction: Can retained species help predict unknown discards in commercial fisheries?

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 6, Page 1392-1405, June 2025.
Due to their higher performance and reliability, we consider SSDMs valuable for modelling unobserved discards and advise caution when using conditional joint prediction for continuous response variables such as biomass, especially when overdispersion is likely.

A Natural Hybrid Mud Crab (Decapoda, Portunidae) from Japan [PDF]

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2005
Abstract A presumed hybrid mud crab of the genus Scylla was examined. The presumed hybrid could not be easily separated morphologically from the three Japanese Scylla species, S. serrata, S. paramamosain, and S. olivacea. An analysis of the first internal transcribed spacer (ITS-1) of the nuclear DNA revealed that the hybrid carried genomic DNA from ...

Wait a Minute? Hiding Behavior of Burrowing Crabs and an Oversized Bill Explain Why Crab Plovers Prefer Armored Swimming Crabs

Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT In the Indo‐West Pacific biogeographical region, a suite of shorebirds searches for crabs as food. While the majority of these shorebirds hunt on burrowing crabs, the endemic crab plover Dromas ardeola additionally feeds on swimming crabs with “fast and powerful claws”.

Long‐term recovery and food web response of benthic macrofauna following cessation of bottom trawling in a marine protected area

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2025.
The study is unique in covering how the benthic community has responded to a long‐term fishing closure in one of Europe's largest strictly marine protected areas. We find the recovery of species and strong links to the food web in the response to protection.
