Ocean conditions drive interannual variability in juvenile albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) muscle energy content in the California Current System. [PDF]
PLoS ONEJuvenile albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) undertake long migrations across the North Pacific that they fuel by feeding in the California Current System (CCS) during the summer. The CCS is a highly dynamic system, which can lead to differences in foraging

Molecular detection of a virus, Pilchard herpesvirus, associated with epizootics in Australasian pilchards Sardinops sagax neopilchardus [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2005 In 1995, and again in 1998, high mortalities of pilchards Sardinops sagax neopilchardus were seen over their entire geographical range on the Australian coastline. A virus with typical herpesvirus morphology was identified as the causative agent, although the source of the virus remains unknown.

Collective anti-predator escape manoeuvres through optimal attack and avoidance strategies [PDF]
Communications BiologyThe collective dynamics of self-organised systems emerge from the decision rules agents use to respond to each other and to external forces. This is evident in groups of animals under attack from predators, where understanding collective escape patterns ...

Effects of Kudoa thyrsites on Proximate Composition and Texture of Merluccius capensis and Zues capensis. [PDF]
J Fish DisABSTRACT Kudoa thyrsites is a myxosporean endoparasite that infects fish, frequently resulting in myoliquefaction, impacting the texture and eating quality of fish muscle. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of K. thyrsites infection on the proximate composition and texture parameters of raw fillets from two South African economically ...

DNA Metabarcoding Reveals the Diet and Conservation Needs of the Chinese Crested Tern and Greater Crested Terns in Zhejiang Breeding Islands. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study employs DNA metabarcoding to analyze the diet composition of the critically endangered Chinese crested tern and the greater crested tern during their breeding season in Zhejiang. The terns primarily consume epipelagic schooling fish like anchovies and mackerel, with minimal overlap with commercial fisheries (< 5% commercial fish).

Schooling Behaviour of SardineSardinops Sagaxin False Bay, South Africa [PDF]
African Journal of Marine Science, 2003 The schooling behaviour of sardine Sardinops sagax in False Bay on the south coast of South Africa was studied in October 1995 using high-resolution sonar and a hull-mounted, echo-integration unit. School formation and disintegration were studied, and school shape, packing density, swimming behaviour and inter- and intra-school event rates were ...
