Rediscovering the Endangered Mediterranean Killifish Aphanius iberus: Environmental DNA Reveals Updated Distribution and Conservation Implications in Coastal Habitats

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Key strongholds and successful reintroductions of the endangered Spanish toothcarp, as well as the discovery of remnant populations at some historical sites, were identified through environmental DNA monitoring. These findings highlight eDNA as an effective, non‐invasive tool for advancing conservation efforts of threatened aquatic fauna in fragmented ...

Relative role of life-history traits and historical factors in shaping genetic population structure of sardines (Sardina pilchardus)

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007
Background Marine pelagic fishes exhibit rather complex patterns of genetic differentiation, which are the result of both historical processes and present day gene flow.

The Staircase Chart: Visualising Vertical and Cross‐Shelf Movements and Dispersal of Early‐Life Fish, Applied to Japanese Jack Mackerel

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 689-703, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Dispersal during early life stages is a critical process shaping marine fish connectivity and population dynamics, yet direct field observations at the individual level remain elusive. This has limited our understanding of the factors controlling dispersal, including the impact of active swimming by larvae and juveniles. Here, we present a new

Lipid and Fatty Acid Composition of Low-Value Mediterranean Fish in Winter and Spring for Discard Valorization

open access: yesFishes
Winter and Spring variations of the fat and fatty acid compositions of discards from six species of the Aegean Sea were investigated to assess the potential suitability for human or aquaculture consumption. European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus), anchovy

Otolith Shape Variation Reveals a Preliminary and Novel Stock Structure Signal of Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi lalandi) in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Climate‐driven range expansion is reshaping marine species distributions and complicating stock assessment, including for Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi lalandi) in Aotearoa New Zealand, which have recently expanded southward from a historically northern range.

Advancing Ecological Understanding and Sustainable Management of Small Pelagic Fish

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 850-864, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish (SPF) are critical to the trophodynamic structure and function of marine systems and support some of the most valuable and socially important fisheries worldwide. Their “boom and bust” population dynamics, shifts in distribution, and importance as forage resources for other fish stocks place unique challenges to assessing ...

Foraging Ecology and Fisheries Interactions of Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Inferred From Strandings in Western Iberian Atlantic Waters

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a resident species along the Portuguese mainland coast, yet knowledge of its stranding patterns and feeding ecology is scarce. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of strandings (n = 264, from 1980 to 2019) and feeding ecology based on stomach content analysis (n = 43 from 1997 to

Biochemical and physiological modifications in tissues of Sardina pilchardus: spatial and temporal patterns as a baseline for biomonitoring studies

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2015
Sardina pilchardus is a marine species common in the North Atlantic Ocean, and is subjected to diffuse anthropogenic chemical contamination and seasonal fluctuations in biotic and abiotic parameters that may alter its physiology and condition. Biological

Studying of Trachurus trachurus (Linnaeus, 1758) Population Reproductive Dynamics in the Eastern Moroccan Mediterranean

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) populations along the eastern Moroccan Mediterranean coast were studied over 12 months using 390 specimens to assess reproductive ecology. The species showed two spawning periods—late winter to early spring and summer—and exhibited fractional spawning, with males being more predominant.
