We assessed the performance of 22 DNA metabarcoding primer sets for detecting 103 species of marine and freshwater bony fishes, elasmobranchs, cephalopods, and crustaceans. We find that a portfolio of four markers targeting 12S, 16S, and multiple regions of COI identifies all reference taxa to family and nearly 60% to species.

Abstract Under future climate change, modification of temperature and salinity are expected to result in distribution shifts of marine organisms, including commercial fish and shellfish. Changes are anticipated everywhere, including in the seas of many important fishing nations.

Abstract Aim Understanding the distribution of marine organisms is essential for effective management of highly mobile marine predators that face a variety of anthropogenic threats. Recent work has largely focused on modelling the distribution and abundance of marine mammals in relation to a suite of environmental variables.

Century‐Scale Changes in the Feeding Patterns of Demersal Fish Species in the Western North Sea
ABSTRACT Understanding the extent and magnitude of change in marine food webs requires historical data that predates modern monitoring efforts. Such information can provide invaluable insights into the longer‐term impacts of altered trophic interactions, yet it is rarely incorporated into marine policy frameworks.

ABSTRACT In this study, we aim to investigate the contribution of various sources of variability, environmental, spatial and interannual on the larval fish assemblages (LFA) in summer off the Catalan coast, an area with a wide array of environmental conditions.

Cross‐Validation of Diet Determination Methods for Seabird Conservation
This study on the diet of the endangered New Zealand king shag (Leucocarbo carunculatus) compared the frequency of occurrence of fishes detected from the same regurgitated pellets (n = 191) using both hard parts and DNA metabarcoding methodologies.

In this study, we investigated the temporal and spatial patterns of fish communities within the 12 nautical miles limit of the Belgian part of the North Sea (BPNS) using eDNA 12S metabarcoding. Our findings revealed that while there are no temporal changes at the community level, species‐specific eDNA signals align with the species known biology in the

Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity of Fish Spawning Dynamics on the West Florida Shelf During Fall
ABSTRACT Identifying spawning areas for economically and ecologically important fishes is critical for fisheries conservation and ecosystem‐based management. We used genetic barcoding to identify fish eggs collected across the West Florida Shelf (WFS) during September of 2013, 2014, and 2019.

Of Biogeography, Fishes and Kelp: Environmental DNA Metabarcoding the Great African Seaforest
ABSTRACT Aim The biodiversity associated with kelp forest ecosystems is understudied globally, including in South Africa, where kelp forests have expanded their range under climate change. This study used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to assess fish biodiversity across an expansive range (~1000 km) of South Africa's kelp forests, contributing ...

ABSTRACT Mixed fisheries exploit fish stocks that are heterogeneously distributed in space using gears that are not species selective. This poses a challenge for management as catch limits for less productive stocks constrain catches of more productive stocks leading to losses in yield and economic value. Decoupling catches of stocks caught together in
