Genetics in the Ocean's Twilight Zone: Population Structure of the Glacier Lanternfish Across Its Distribution Range. [PDF]

open access: yesEvol Appl
ABSTRACT The mesopelagic zone represents one of the few habitats that remains relatively untouched from anthropogenic activities. Among the many species inhabiting the north Atlantic mesopelagic zone, glacier lanternfish (Benthosema glaciale) is the most abundant and widely distributed.

The distribution of subarctic and boreal deep‐sea demersal fish assemblages across environmental gradients of the northwest Atlantic

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 103, Issue 6, Page 1419-1429, December 2023., 2023
Abstract The oceanography of the Labrador Sea is well studied because of its globally important deep‐water convection that oxygenates the deep ocean and drives climate‐regulating ocean currents. However, little is known about the fish communities that inhabit this area, particularly beyond the depths accessible to standard research surveys and ...

Optimizing a metabarcoding marker portfolio for species detection from complex mixtures of globally diverse fishes

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1589-1607, November 2023., 2023
We assessed the performance of 22 DNA metabarcoding primer sets for detecting 103 species of marine and freshwater bony fishes, elasmobranchs, cephalopods, and crustaceans. We find that a portfolio of four markers targeting 12S, 16S, and multiple regions of COI identifies all reference taxa to family and nearly 60% to species.

Using multivariate autoregressive state‐space models to examine stock structure of Greenland halibut in the North Atlantic

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 5, Page 521-535, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Accurate information on population structure is essential for effective fisheries management. Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) in the North Atlantic is managed as four separate offshore stocks. We use Multivariate Autoregressive State‐Space (MARSS) models to assess population structure by means of abundance and biomass trends ...

Threatened fish species in the Northeast Atlantic are functionally rare

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 10, Page 1827-1845, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim The criteria used to define the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List categories are essentially based on demographic parameters at the species level, but they do not integrate species' traits or their roles in ecosystems.

Forage Fish Species Prefer Habitat within Designated Offshore Wind Energy Areas in the U.S. Northeast Shelf Ecosystem

open access: yesMarine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract As the world develops sources of renewable energy, there is an intensifying interest in offshore wind energy production. The Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf (NES) ecosystem has favorable wind dynamics, with active development of wind energy.

Trends in Area of Occurrence and Biomass of Fish and Macroinvertebrates on the Northeast U.S. Shelf Ecosystem

open access: yesMarine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Climate change can affect the habitat of marine species and hence their persistence and adaptation. Trends in area of occurrence and population biomass were examined for 177 fish and macroinvertebrates resident to the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf ecosystem. Samples of these organisms were taken during a time series of research bottom trawl

Update of Indicator PCB Levels in Food in Southern Italy: Assessment of the Dietary Exposure for Adult and Elderly Population

open access: yesJournal of Food Quality, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The levels of non‐dioxin‐like PCB indicators (iPCBs 28, 52, 101, 138, 153, and 180) were determined in food samples (seafood, meat and processed meat, milk and dairy products, hen eggs, olive oil, and other fats) to evaluate the exposure of adult and elderly population.

Management of transboundary and straddling fish stocks in the Northeast Atlantic in view of climate‐induced shifts in spatial distribution

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 21, Issue 5, Page 1008-1026, September 2020., 2020
Abstract The introduction of 200 n.m. exclusive economic zones (EEZs) in the late 1970s required increased collaboration among neighbouring coastal states to manage transboundary and straddling fish stocks. The established agreements ranged from bilateral to multilateral, including high‐seas components, as appropriate.

Climate‐induced changes in the suitable habitat of cold‐water corals and commercially important deep‐sea fishes in the North Atlantic

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 2181-2202, April 2020., 2020
We used environmental niche modelling to predict the habitat suitability for key cold‐water coral and commercially important deep‐sea fish species under present‐day environmental conditions and to forecast changes under future climate projections (RCP8.5) for the North Atlantic Ocean. Our models forecasted a significant decrease in suitable habitat for
