On the occurrence of the snakefish Trachinocephalus myops (Aulopiformes: Synodontidae) in the Azores archipelago

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The snakefish Trachinocephalus myops is an Atlantic species distributed in tropical and temperate coastal waters on sandy substrates. This study reports the validated record of an adult T. myops in the Azores archipelago caught by a fisherman at Faial Island.

Monthly differences in the movement ecology of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) in eastern Lake Ontario

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Lake whitefish are a cold‐water species that holds cultural and economic importance throughout the Great Lakes region. Anthropogenic stressors over the last 60 years (e.g., invasive species, habitat degradation, and pollution) have caused significant declines in their populations.

Collaborative Pacific Halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis, Bycatch Control by Canada and the United States [PDF]

, 2004
—Bycatch mortality of Pacific halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis, in nontarget fisheries is composed primarily of immature fish, and substantial reductions in yield to directed halibut fisheries result from this bycatch.

Spatial habitat partitioning enables coexistence of three Gobiidae species in estuarine environments

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines resource partitioning (feeding morphology, diet and habitat partitioning) among three gobiid species, the Knysna sandgoby Psammogobius knysnaensis, the prison goby Caffrogobius gilchristi and the river goby Glossogobius callidus, within an estuarine environment.

Growth and age differences between two male alternative reproductive tactics in the plainfin midshipman

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The plainfin midshipman (Porichthys notatus Girard, 1854) is a toadfish with two distinct reproductive male tactics: ‘guarder males’ and ‘sneaker males’. These two tactics are anatomically, physiologically and behaviourally distinct from one another at sexual maturity, but it remained unclear whether these two male types remain fixed or ...

Assessment of fish populations and habitat on Oculina Bank, a deep-sea coral marine protected area off eastern Florida [PDF]

, 2009
A portion of the Oculina Bank located off eastern Florida is a marine protected area (MPA) preserved for its dense populations of the ivory tree coral (Oculina varicosa), which provides important habitat for fish.

Polar cod Boreogadus saida occurrence is driven by temperature at the margin of its distribution

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract With a warming Arctic, suitable habitat for polar cod Boreogadus saida (Lepechin 1774) is predicted to decrease. We investigated the changes in distribution of polar cod on the southern limit of its distribution in the Atlantic Ocean (around Iceland) during both autumn and spring after a recent period of warming in the area.

Assessing the overlap between fishing and chondrichthyans exposes high‐risk areas for bycatch of threatened species

Ecosphere
Chondrichthyans (sharks, rays, skates, and chimaeras) make up one of the oldest and most ecologically diverse vertebrate groups, yet they face severe threats from fishing, necessitating improved management strategies. To effectively manage these species,

Inshore marine coastal zone migration patterns in Atlantic salmon post‐smolts emigrating from eight rivers in north‐east Scotland

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, migrate through multiple habitat types, each having the potential to impact differently upon migration success. The inshore marine coastal zone is arguably disproportionately impacted by potential stressors on populations.
