New study reinforces link between gill size and oxygen uptake in fish

New study reinforces link between gill size and oxygen uptake in fish

Data from 33 fish species further supports the argument that small differences between fish’s oxygen consumption increase and gill surface area growth do not invalidate the principles of the Gill Oxygen Limitation Theory (GOLT).

Fisheries disrupt balance of marine nutrients in countries’ Exclusive Economic Zones

Fisheries disrupt balance of marine nutrients in countries’ Exclusive Economic Zones

The 4 billion tonnes of marine organisms that global fisheries extracted from the ocean between 1960 and 2018 resulted in the depletion of over 560 million tonnes of essential nutrients vital to ecosystem health.

Ancient seafloor creature grew like modern marine invertebrates – study

Ancient seafloor creature grew like modern marine invertebrates – study

New research shows that the growth and lifespan of Parvancorina minchami, small anchor-shaped animals that lived on the seafloor about 550 million years ago, was about four years, that they could reach close to 20 millimetres in length, and that their pace of growth was similar to that of small recent invertebrate.

Taking seriously the explanations on shrinking fish in a warming world

Given that the temperature increase and fish shrinking trends are not slowing down, the debate around the mechanistic models that explain their causes has become nothing but heated.

Global North’s growing appetite for farmed salmon imperils communities’ access to local fish

Global North’s growing appetite for farmed salmon imperils communities’ access to local fish

The growing appetite for expensive farmed salmon can leave coastal communities struggling to access affordable local fish like sardines and anchovies

Fisheries Research Overestimates Fish Stocks

Fisheries Research Overestimates Fish Stocks

As the abundance of global fish populations continues to deteriorate, top fisheries researchers are calling for simpler yet more accurate stock assessment models that avoid overly optimistic scientific advice, which ends up encouraging overfishing.

Industrial fleets operating in the Indian Ocean turn off monitoring systems, fail reporting obligations

Industrial fleets operating in the Indian Ocean turn off monitoring systems, fail reporting obligations

Industrial fleets from top fishing countries operating in the Indian Ocean and targeting export-market species such as tuna and squid are likely to disable monitoring systems to fish more than allowed and evade authorities
