Atlantic Herring: History of a Fishery [PDF]
In the first half of the 20th century, herring were fished primarily with small-scale, low-impact gear such as weirs and purse seines. But in the 1960s, large foreign fleets equipped with massive trawl nets began catching amounts of herring previously ...

Environmental Drivers of Jumbo Squid During Fishery Collapse in the Gulf of California (2019–2024)
ABSTRACT The jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) is a cephalopod endemic to the eastern Pacific with significant ecological and economic importance. Its exploitation in the Gulf of California (GC) peaked in the 1990s, with catches exceeding 100,000 tons, but collapsed in 2009 and virtually disappeared by 2015, largely due to environmental changes and ...

Long‐term shifts in pikeperch, Sander lucioperca, diet composition in a changing reservoir
Abstract As a significant piscivorous predator, the pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) plays a critical role in regulating aquatic ecosystems. Understanding its size‐related feeding behaviour is thus vital for assessing its impact. To evaluate its role in the ecosystem, stomach content analysis provides useful insights into predator–prey dynamics.

Food intake of early juvenile western Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) during settlement transition
Abstract This study examines the gut contents of 203 early juvenile Atlantic cod [17–101 mm ± 18.48 mm standard deviation (SD)] from the Western Baltic Sea (ICES Subdivision 22) collected between 2020 and 2022. According to the observed prey (proportion of pelagic, intermediate and benthic items) in the cod guts, settlement transition from a pelagic to

Atmospheric CO2 emissions and ocean acidification from bottom-trawling
Trawling the seafloor can disturb carbon that took millennia to accumulate, but the fate of that carbon and its impact on climate and ecosystems remains unknown.

Abstract The John Dory Zeus faber is a commercially exploited demersal fish species with a known distribution ranging from the Northeast Atlantic to parts of the Indian and Pacific oceans. A previous genetic survey using cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA barcodes suggested the presence of two geographically segregated taxonomic units within Z ...

Abstract The flapper skate, Dipturus intermedius (Parnell, 1837), is a large‐bodied, slow‐growing and late‐maturing, Critically Endangered elasmobranch with a constrained population distribution. Here, we use two longitudinal community science datasets to investigate the occurrence of flapper skates in Irish waters. The two datasets are as follows: the
