A decline in the energy content of forage fish in the Bay of Biscay
Abstract Planktonic production fuels the base of marine food webs and can mediate energy accumulation in consumers but is affected by several anthropogenic pressures. Our understanding of how shifts in prey quality at various trophic level shape marine food webs remains poor.

European cephalopods distribution under climate-change scenarios
In a context of increasing anthropogenic pressure, projecting species potential distributional shifts is of major importance for the sustainable exploitation of marine species. Despite their major economical (i.e. important fisheries) and ecological (i.e.

Cuttlefish is one of the most economically important cephalopods with rich taste and few inedible parts. The study was aimed at evaluating the nutrient, non-nutrients, free fatty acid and cholesterol compositions and functional properties of raw and ...

A hedgehog-like signal is involved in slow muscle differentation in Sepia officinalis [PDF]
In the tentacle of Sepia officinalis, smooth-like, helical and cross-striated fibres deriving from different populations of myoblasts are present. Myoblasts appear at different times during the development and express two muscle-specific transcription ...

Crecimiento relativo del estatolito de Sepia officinalis (Cephalopoda, Sepioidea) de la ría de Vigo [PDF]
En este trabajo se pone de manifiesto que el crecimiento de los estatolitos de Sepia officinalis es alométrico. Tanto el peso como la longitud del estatolito experimentan un retardo del crecimiento con respecto al tamaño de los individuos de ambos sexos,

ABSTRACT Scientific literature supports the benefits of trawling bans for fish assemblages, particularly regarding species richness and fish size, besides the health of food webs and seafloor habitats. Length‐based indicators are commonly applied to track the recovery, offering straightforward and sensitive metrics for detecting shifts in population ...

Camouflage Using Surface Disruption: The Importance of Corners Versus Edges
Disruptive colouration allows animals to avoid predation by concealing the body's outline or surfaces. If corners are important for shape processing, as in human vision, then corner disruption should provide better camouflage than edge disruption. Although the location of surface disruption did not influence survival, we found that 3D prey had higher ...

The use of Depletion methods to assess Mediterranean cephalopod stocks under the current EU Data Collection Framework [PDF]
Fuelled by the increasing importance of cephalopod fisheries in Europe, scientists and stakeholders have demanded their assessment and management. However, little has been done to improve the data collection under the EU Data Collection Framework (DCF ...

Motion After‐Effects Induced by Dynamic Illumination in Crab Vision
While in humans, background motion can disrupt the detection of visual cues even after the moving background component has ceased, it remains unknown whether natural forms of background motion might also affect other animal visual systems. Here, we test whether prior exposure to naturally occurring ‘caustics’, a form of dynamically moving light ...

Cephalopod Distribution in the Canary Current: Latitudinal and Bathymetric Patterns
ABSTRACT Aim The Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) is one of the four major marine upwelling systems worldwide. Cephalopods in this region exhibit high diversity and abundance, but the distributional patterns of most species are largely unknown.
