The Occurrence of Microplastic Ingestion in Commercial Marine Fish in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia

open access: yesEnvironmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastics are polymer‐based particle compositions of various toxic chemicals with size less than 5 mm. Due to their small size, microplastics can be ingested and accumulate in body tissues of organisms. This raises concerns about their toxicity being transferred to humans via food consumption.

Ecosystem Impacts of the Landing Obligation for Unwanted Catch in Thermaikos Gulf (Greece)

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 246-259, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Discards by marine commercial fisheries have been an issue of major concern to the scientific community in recent years. We modeled the ecological and trophic consequences of a mandatory landing obligation (LO) regulated by the reformed Common Fisheries Policy [Regulation (EU) 1380/2013] on the Thermaikos Gulf ecosystem (northwestern Aegean ...

A Comprehensive Evaluation of Taxonomic Classifiers in Marine Vertebrate eDNA Studies

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a widely used tool for surveying marine vertebrate biodiversity. To this end, many computational tools have been released and a plethora of bioinformatic approaches are used for eDNA‐based community composition analysis.

First target strength measurement of Trachurus mediterraneus and Scomber colias in the Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesFisheries Research, 2021
Knowing the species-specific target strength (TS) allows converting volume backscattering strength to numerical abundance. Since the acoustic surveys conducted for biomass assessment in the Mediterranean Sea currently focus on the echoes of two or three target pelagic species, the TS of non-target species has seldom been investigated in this basin ...

Recurrence of the Spatial Structure of Summer Larval Fish Assemblages Linked to Hydrodynamics in the NW Mediterranean

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 99-120, September 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study, we aim to investigate the contribution of various sources of variability, environmental, spatial and interannual on the larval fish assemblages (LFA) in summer off the Catalan coast, an area with a wide array of environmental conditions.

Fishing areas characterisation using the SIMOcean platform

open access: yesAquatic Living Resources, 2017
In this study, the relationships between sea surface temperature (SST), chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration and catch locations of sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and Atlantic chub mackerel (Scomber colias) were explored using satellite-derived SST and Chl ...

Monitoring Fish Bacterial Pathogens of Wild Fish Species From the South China Sea by Applying Next‐Generation Sequencing on Gill Tissue

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT The classic epidemiological triangle model of host—environment—pathogen is recently being reshaped into a tetrahedron, with the growing understanding of the importance of the microbiome in this array. The gills, being a gateway into the fish body, bearing an important role in fish homeostasis, host a complex microbiome that reflects the ...

Dietary metabarcoding of keystone sardine species reveals the importance of their ichthyoplankton prey in food webs of the Southern Brazilian Bight fisheries

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 33, Issue 4, July 2024.
Abstract Clupeiform fishes are ecologically and economically important species contributing to industrial and artisanal fisheries worldwide. They represent key links in food webs, influencing the dynamic between trophic levels. The dietary interactions of these species are poorly studied in many regions, yet essential for fisheries management.

Post‐Harvest Travels of Marine Fish: How Small Fish Food Systems Variously Support Food Security and Nutrition in Coastal and Inland Cities in Ghana

open access: yesTijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, Volume 115, Issue 3, Page 418-438, July 2024.
Abstract This paper enquires into the travels of low‐cost varieties of marine fish in the context of Ghana, distinguishing flows that move toward coastal cities versus those destined for distant, inland cities. It derives data from field research on the Ghanaian small fish food system through surveys, FGDs and interviews conducted in Accra and Tamale ...

Targeted Fishery for Bogue Boops boops (Linnaeus, 1758) Around Sea-Cage Fish Farms in the Turkish Aegean Sea

open access: yesCroatian Journal of Fisheries
This study investigated artisanal fishing activity near sea cages in Güllük Bay in the southeastern Aegean Sea based on dockside sampling with local fishermen. The daily fishing activity of bogue Boops boops gillnetters was randomly observed in the ports
