The ratio of length at first maturity to maximum length across marine and freshwater fishes

Zhaomin Chen et al.

Summary: The prevailing determinant of maturation in fishes is thought to be a redirection of energy from growth to reproduction. However, this study found that the key factor for maturation in fishes is the consistency in the ratio of oxygen supply to demand, which is primarily determined by the scaling of gill surface area.

Indexing starvation mortality to assess its role in the population regulation of Northern cod

Paul M. Regular et al.

Summary: Starvation is a common process in nature, and it is challenging to model starvation-induced mortality due to the difficulty of isolating specific sources of natural mortality. A statistical approach using body condition data has been developed to estimate starvation-induced mortality in fish populations. The study found a positive association between natural mortality rates and mortality index derived from poor body condition proportions in Northern cod populations, highlighting the importance of considering prey availability in stock assessment and ecosystem-based fisheries management.

Spatial and temporal analysis (2009-2020) of the biological parameters, abundance and distribution of Trachurus mediterraneus (Steindachner, 1868) in the Western Mediterranean

Jose Carlos Rodriguez-Castaneda et al.

Summary: This study analyzes data collected from acoustic surveys conducted in the Spanish Mediterranean to explore the ecological characteristics and distributional changes of Trachurus mediterraneus in Northern Spain and the Northern Alboran Sea. The results suggest a possible neritic distribution with significant differences in abundance and growth characteristics among different regions.

Accounting for the fish condition in assessing the reproductivity of a marine eel to achieve fishery sustainability

Xiuxia Mu et al.

Summary: The study revealed that fish total fecundity is positively correlated with length and hepatosomatic indices (HSI), while relative fecundity is negatively correlated with body weight; variations in HSI can significantly impact the estimation of SPR in management decisions, leading to potential risks of recruitment overfishing.

Achieving sustainable and climate-resilient fisheries requires marine ecosystem forecasts to include fish condition

Jessica A. Bolin et al.

Summary: Marine ecosystem forecasting is an important innovation in fisheries science that provides new data-driven methods for predicting the distribution and availability of commercially exploited fish stocks, aiming to optimize efficiencies in wild-capture fisheries.

Use of food web knowledge in environmental conservation and management of living resources in the Baltic Sea

Margit Eero et al.

Summary: Food webs play a central role in management decisions, but their application varies across different areas. Barriers to integration include the complexity of ecological processes and the inadequacy of management frameworks. Future incorporation of food web knowledge in management will benefit from ecosystem-based approaches.

Age is not just a number-Mathematical model suggests senescence affects how fish populations respond to different fishing regimes

Pauliina A. Ahti et al.

Summary: Senescence plays a significant role in affecting the population dynamics of fish species, as demonstrated in a study on Coregonus albula. The presence or absence of senescence influences how a fish population responds to selection pressures, impacting individual traits and population characteristics. Understanding the combined effects of senescence and fisheries selection is crucial for the successful management of natural resources.
