Quantifying spawning biomass of commercially relevant fish species is important to generate fishing quotas. This will mostly rely on the annual or daily production eggs. However, these have be identified precisely level obtain a reliable estimate offspring different species. Because morphological identification can very difficult, recent developments are heading towards application molecular to...

Invasive aquatic species may disrupt ecosystems and cause socioeconomic damage. Biosecurity protocols were developed to prevent transport unintended introductions of invasive species, but less attention has been paid management once they become established. The use classical fisheries stock assessment determine levels at which selectively targeted elicit recruitment overfishing is discussed. Ca...

The Samandeni reservoir in Burkina Faso, impounded 2017, hosts a significant diversity of fish, including the Clariidae family. fish stocks have been exploited since 2019, when was opened to fishermen. However, no assessment status these has conducted. present study focused on dynamics Clarias anguillaris exploitation order reliable information that can contribute planning its sustainable explo...

Fisheries bycatch is a significant marine conservation issue as valuable fish are wasted and protected species harmed with potential negative ecological and socio-economic consequences. Even though there are indications that the small-scale handline fishery of the Galapagos Marine Reserve has a low selectivity, information on its bycatch has never been published. We used onboard monitoring and ...

Effective management is necessary if small-scale fisheries, such as those found in mixed habitats including seagrass and coral reefs, are to continue providing food for many of the poorest communities of the world. Gear-based management, although under represented and under studied, has the potential to be adaptive, address multiple objectives, and be crafted to the socio-economic setting. Mana...

Most reviews concerning the impact of climate change on coral reefs discuss independent effects of warming or ocean acidification. However, the interactions between these, and between these and direct local stressors are less well addressed. This review underlines that coral bleaching, acidification, and diseases are expected to interact synergistically, and will negatively influence survival, ...
