Bacterial diseases of marine fish inflict significant economic damage to fisheries and aquaculture pose an increasing risk public health. When addressing disease, accumulating body research suggests adding another factor the classic epidemiological triangle host-environment-pathogen: microbiome. The gills, being a gateway into bearing important role in homeostasis, have been found be proxy gut ...

Biological reference points (BRPs) derived from per-recruit analyses are commonly used in inferring stock status and serve as the target or threshold fisheries management. However, estimation of BRPs may be impacted by variability life history processes, particularly, individual growth rates often display substantial seasonal oscillations but seldomly considered analyses. Using four commercial ...

Fishes from the northwestern Gulf of Mexico were surveyed during four oceanographic campaigns (February and October 2016, June September 2017) using a shrimp trawl net benthic sled in 20 locations at depths that ranged 43 to 3608 m. Length–weight relations (LWR) estimated for 39 fish species (in alphabetical order): Bembrops gobioides (Goode, 1880); Centropristis philadelphica (Linnaeus, 1758);...

 Microbiological, chemical and sensory changes of fish burgers prepared from deep flounder (Pseudorhombus elevatus) and brushtooth lizardfish (Saurida undosquamis) were determined during storage at -18ºC for 5 months. Microbiological counts were including total plate count (TPC), total coliform (TC), Staphylococcus aureus, Psychotropic and Escherichia coli decreased throughout the frozen storag...
