Unveiling Patterns in Cetacean Strandings Along Southern Atlantic Iberia: Temporal and Spatial Trends, Seasonality, and Causes of Death

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We compiled 46 years of cetacean strandings in the Algarve, Portugal, describing temporal–spatial patterns, size–sex structure, and causes of death (COD). We analyzed national records and years with a dedicated regional stranding network (SN) to assess annual/seasonal trends, spatial hotspots, and compare biometrics and COD.

Seasonal and Interannual Variation of Common Dolphin, Delphinus delphis, Density in Portuguese Waters

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Modeling a species' ecology and abundance provides important insights into its habitat preferences, population trends, and distribution. Here, we studied how environmental factors relate to common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) density in waters off mainland Portugal.

Mitochondrial DNA marker reveals shallow genetic structuring in Priacanthus hamrur (Forsskål, 1775) along the Indian coast [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Priacanthus hamrur (Forsskål, 1775), a marine perch belonging to the family Priacanthidae commonly known as “bulls eye” has started emerging as an important fishery resource in the trawl landings along both the west and east coasts of India.

Report of the Scientific Committee of the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) on the risk of food poisoning due to the presence of biogenic amines in meals made from chicken meat consumed by children under 3 years of age

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Biogenic amines are low molecular weight organic bases that come from the enzymatic decarboxylation of amino acids. They are present in many types of food, with the highest concentrations usually found in fish and their derived products, as well as in beverages and fermented foods of plant, meat and dairy origin.

Mitigating slipping-related mortality from purse seine fisheries for small pelagic fish: case studies from European Atlantic waters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The release of unwanted catches (UWC) from purse seines, while the catch is still in the water, is known as “slipping”. Once thought to be a benign process, compared to discarding UWC overboard from the fishing vessel, it is now recognised that “slipping”

A Multi‐Taxa Approach to Estuarine Biomonitoring: Assessing Vertebrate Biodiversity and Ecological Continuity Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding in the Rance River (Brittany, France)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We applied eDNA metabarcoding to assess vertebrate diversity in the Rance Estuary, France, across five stations spanning marine to freshwater environments, including areas upstream and downstream of a tidal power plant dam. A total of 124 vertebrate MOTUs were detected, with community composition reflecting the estuarine gradient and species turnover ...

Estimating European Pilchard (Sardina pilchardus) Total Length: New Equations for the Ichthyoarchaeological Record

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 325-340, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Throughout its area of distribution, in particular in the Iberian Peninsula, the European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus Walbaum 1792) has been an extensively exploited species since Prehistoric times. Our knowledge of the past fisheries of this clupeid nevertheless remains limited due to a scarcity of ichthyoarchaeological data, which reflects,

Sardine regime shifts off Portugal: a time series analysis of catches and wind conditions

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2003
Decadal changes have been observed in the annual catch of sardine (Sardina pilchardus W). Long-term changes have also been observed in alongshore winds off Portugal in the last decades in winter months.
