Mesophotic animal forests of the Aegean Sea support fish diversity hotspots under high fishing pressure

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Marine animal forests (MAFs) are dense aggregations of habitat‐forming species that constitute essential habitats for diverse taxa including fish. However, the study of MAFs and their associated fauna remains largely skewed to their shallowest occurrence, above 30 m depth.

Habitat characteristics drive fish recruitment enhancement in threatened coastal nursery habitats

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings underscore the importance of habitat attributes and physical settings as the key predictors of fish enhancement across threatened coastal nurseries of North America. Restoration and management efforts should aim to optimize these factors to maximize fish recruitment potential amid ecosystem degradation. Abstract Structured coastal habitats

Refining a molecular tool kit to capture tropicalization in Mediterranean marine protected areas

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
We assess complementarity and trade‐offs between visual census and eDNA metabarcoding for monitoring fish community changes in MPAs. Abstract Tropicalization, the process by which tropical species expand their ranges poleward due to global ocean warming, is a prominent threat to Mediterranean marine ecosystems, challenging their effective management ...

Cytogenetic studies in Brazilian marine Sciaenidae and Sparidae fishes (Perciformes)

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Research, 2008
Fishes from the families Sciaenidae and Sparidae, the former comprising coastal species associated with shallow waters on the continental shelf and the latter composed of typically marine species, are of significant economic value. Karyotypic data are available for about 20% of the total number of species in these groups.
