Trends in abundance indices derived from commercial fisheries for priority marine stocks in the Azores

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 103, Issue 4, Page 815-827, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Large‐scale assessments of fish and shellfish populations may be valuable for identifying the impacts of fishing pressure on stocks, but they are rarely possible due to a lack of long‐term datasets. In this study, a two‐part mixed‐effect model for lognormal data was used to obtain historical abundance indices for 16 priority fish and shellfish

Comparing otolith shape descriptors for population structure inferences in a small pelagic fish, the European sardine Sardina pilchardus (Walbaum, 1792)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 102, Issue 5, Page 1219-1236, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Otolith shape analysis has been one of the most used approaches to study population structure in the past decades. Currently, two sets of shape descriptors are used to perform otolith shape analysis, namely, Elliptic Fourier descriptor (EFd), which focuses on the overall otolith shape differences, and Discrete Wavelet descriptor (DWd), which ...

Spatiotemporal variability in the occurrence of juvenile Japanese jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus along coastal areas of the Kuroshio Current

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 30, Issue 5, Page 569-583, September 2021., 2021
Abstract To understand the population structure of the Japanese jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus in coastal areas adjacent to the Kuroshio Current (referred to as the “CAK”), we analyzed size composition and commercial landing data of juvenile fish in these areas for the period 2005–2015.

Thinking of Fish Population Discrimination: Population Average Phenotype vs. Population Phenotypes

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The genetic polymorphism and phenotypic variation are key in ecology and evolution. The morphological variability of the contour of fish otoliths has been extensively used for the delimitation of stocks.

Biometry, Distribution and Genetic Characterization of Blue Jack Mackerel Trachurus picturatus (Bowdich, 1825), a Rare Pelagic Fish Species in the Adriatic Sea

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
The blue jack mackerel Trachurus picturatus (Bowdich, 1825) specimens (N = 155) were collected during the MEDITS survey, done along the eastern side, precisely, of the Croatian fishing ground in July 2018.

New insights about the population structure of the blue jack mackerel (Trachurus picturatus) in the NE Atlantic using otolith stable isotope ratios

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2015
The blue jack mackerel Trachurus picturatus is a pelagic fish widely distributed in the NE Atlantic and also found in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. It is an economically important resource in the Macaronesian islands of Azores, Madeira and Canaries ...

Fish communities associated with FADs

open access: yesScientia Marina, 1999
Two groups of six fish aggregating devices (FADs) were deployed at two locations off the eastern coast of Majorca (Western Mediterranean). Samples were obtained fortnightly throughout a two-year period by means of hauls performed with an experimental ...
