The Trawled Truth

open access: yes
The UK’s offshore marine protected areas (MPAs) suffered over 20,000 hours of suspected bottom-trawl fishing in 2024, which would score tracks on the sea bed reaching over eight times around the UK, this Oceana report revealed. Bottom trawling is permitted in 90% of UK MPAs, the report shows.

Distribution and ecology of the four Macrourus species by‐caught in the longline fishery at South Georgia, Southern Ocean

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although Macrourus species are the main by‐catch across Southern Ocean longline fisheries, including around South Georgia, the lack of species‐specific data has hindered effective management and ecological understanding. Aggregation of macrourids at genus level masks critical interspecific differences in life‐history strategies and ...

Assessing local adaptation and divergence at early life stages within Eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many commercially exploited fish stocks have declined over the last few decades. It is therefore essential to identify natural populations and understand local adaptation for sustainable management. Salinity is a key environmental factor shaping local adaptation, and adaptive trait divergence often occurs at the egg and larval stages.

Prospects of multipurpose biomonitoring for fisheries assessment based on environmental nucleic acids

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage.

Estimating Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) length at first maturity from their age, sex and temperature experience around South Georgia

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) are a long‐lived, slow‐growing deep‐sea species endemic to the Southern Hemisphere and the focus of longline fisheries managed to ensure sustainable exploitation. Managing the fisheries relies on accurate stock assessments that include pertinent biological and exploitation processes.

First Report of ‘Soft Flesh’ Induced by the Parasite Kudoa thyrsites (Myxosporea) in Commercial Codfish From Norway

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Kudoa thyrsites is a myxosporean parasite that infects the skeletal muscle of various teleost fish species globally. Severe infections lead to ‘soft flesh’ in fish fillets, resulting in food spoilage and subsequent discard. While K. thyrsites has previously been identified in migratory Atlantic mackerel in the northern Northeast Atlantic Ocean,
