Abstract Aquaculture (freshwater and marine) has largely supplemented fisheries, but in theory could help reduce fishing pressure on wild stocks. Although not the sole factors, some potential benefits depend on aquaculture pressures on fished species, including collection of wild ‘seed’ material—earlier to later life stages—for rearing in captivity and

Abstract The genus Thunnus (family Scombridae) comprises eight species of tunas of which all but one are targeted by industrialized fisheries. Although intact individuals of these species can be distinguished by morphological characteristics, researchers and managers often rely on dressed, frozen, juvenile or larval fish samples, which often ...

Skeletal ontogeny of the Plainfin Midshipman, Porichthys notatus (Percomorphacea: Batrachoidiformes)
Description of skeletal ontogeny during early life history of Porichthys notatus. Establishment that the previously described as dorsalmost pectoral radial is homologous to the propterygium. Unique developmental pathway of the posterior basibranchial cartilage, first appearing as paired elements which fuse in later stages.

Short Abstract The case of Japanese shark fisheries based in Kesennuma, Miyagi shows the full picture of the current global context behind a highly controversial commodity: shark fins. Drawing on this case, this paper analyses the network of cooperative stakeholders to re‐configure a global sustainable commodity network for shark fins.

The valorization of by‐products is currently a matter of great concern to improve the sustainability of the food industry. High quality by‐products derived from the food chain are omega‐3 fatty acids, being fish the main source of docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid.

Abstract We develop a potentially widely applicable framework for analysing the vulnerability, resilience risk and exposure of chondrichthyan species to all types of anthropogenic stressors in the marine environment. The approach combines the three components of widely applied vulnerability analysis (exposure, sensitivity and adaptability) (ESA) with ...

Atresia of ovarian follicles in fishes, and implications and uses in aquaculture and fisheries
Abstract Atresia of ovarian follicles, that is the degenerative process of germ cells and their associated somatic cells, is a complex process involving apoptosis, autophagy and heterophagy. Follicular atresia is a normal component of fish oogenesis and it is observed throughout the ovarian cycle, although it is more frequent in regressing ovaries ...

Abstract The quantification of niche diversity and niche overlap is useful for understanding the impacts of fisheries regulation and management. In this work, we evaluate isotopic niche size and overlap at the guild and species levels. Specifically, we analyzed guild‐ and species‐specific isotopic niche space and niche space overlap using the SIBER and
