Modelling Fish Growth with Imperfect Data: The Case of Trachurus picturatus [PDF]
Fishes, 2022 Growth modelling is essential to inform fisheries management but is often hampered by sampling biases and imperfect data. Additional methods such as interpolating data through back-calculation may be used to account for sampling bias but are often ...

Growth Parameters and Mortality Rates Estimated for Seven Data-Deficient Fishes from the Azores Based on Length-Frequency Data [PDF]
Life, 2022 Given the scarcity of information suitable for stock assessments, the growth and mortality of seven exploited marine fishes in Azorean waters were estimated based on length-frequency data. The studied species were Trachurus picturatus, Sparisoma cretense,

Seasonal study of the nutritional composition of unexploited and low commercial value fish species from the Portuguese coast. [PDF]
Food Sci Nutr, 2022 Non‐target species are seldom studied and information on nutritional profiles and seasonal changes in nutritional properties is generally lacking. This study assessed the seasonal nutritional composition of two unexploited (Serranus cabrilla, Capros aper) and three low‐commercial value fish species (Trachurus picturatus, Spondyliosoma cantharus and ...

Complementary Role of Fishers’ Experiential Knowledge to Conventional Science in Terms of Species-Specific Biological Traits and Population Changes in Azorean Waters [PDF]
Biology, 2023 Combining scientific information with fishers’ perceptions may be a robust approach for directing decision-makers working with marine ecosystems. This is particularly the case when baseline data on a vulnerable stock are poor, as the integration of ...

Genetic analysis provides insights into species distribution and population structure in East Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus and T. capensis). [PDF]
J Fish Biol, 2020 Abstract Two sister species of horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus and T. capensis) are described that are intensively harvested in East Atlantic waters. To address long‐standing uncertainties as to their respective geographical ranges, overlap and intraspecific population structure this study combined genetic (mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite ...

Re-evaluation of certain aspects of the EFSA Scientific Opinion of April 2010 on risk assessment of parasites in fishery products, based on new scientific data. Part 2. [PDF]
EFSA JAbstract The objective of this opinion was to determine if any wild caught fish species, originating from specific fishing grounds and consumed in the EU/EFTA could be considered free of zoonotic parasites. In this Opinion the term ‘fishery products’ only refers to fresh finfish.

Seasonal Sensory Evaluation of Low Commercial Value or Unexploited Fish Species from the Portuguese Coast [PDF]
Foods, 2020 Overfishing is increasing over time, and according to FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), about one third of the world’s fish stocks are now overfished.
