Cage Aquaculture Influences the Abundance and Diversity of Pelagic and Benthic Macroinvertebrate Communities: Insights From Anyanga Beach, Lake Victoria, Kenya

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cage aquaculture is expanding in Lake Victoria to meet increasing fish demand, yet ecological impacts remain a concern. This study assessed the effects of cage aquaculture on water quality and the abundance and diversity of pelagic and benthic macroinvertebrates at Anyanga Beach, Lake Victoria, Kenya.

Impacts of diffuse pressure complexes complicate conservation and management of benthic marine habitats

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results suggest that pressures in marine ecosystems often arise from numerous seemingly minor activities that collectively contribute to substantial habitat degradation. They underscore the urgent need to develop more targeted, local management measures that address detrimental small‐scale activities.

New records of freshwater mussels (Unionida, Unionidae and Mycetopodidae) from rivers, lakes, and lagoons in Honduras  [PDF]

Check List
Freshwater mussels were surveyed in 32 sites across rivers, lakes, and lagoons in Honduras and five species (two Unionidae and three Mycetopodidae) confirmed. Anodontites tortilis and Mycetopoda subsinuata are reported for the first time from the country.

Survivorship of captively propagated Carolina heelsplitter and a potential surrogate, eastern creekshell, in South Carolina streams

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 8, November 2025.
We compared survivorship, in a hatchery (control) and silos in natural streams, of juvenile Carolina heelsplitter originating from two geographically isolated river basins (Pee Dee River basin, Catawba River basin) over 1 year (Oct 2021–Oct 2022) and survivorship of a second species (eastern creekshell) to evaluate its potential use as a surrogate for ...
