Fish populations are linked to each other via dispersal of individuals as eggs, larvae,
juveniles or adults. The understanding of this process, known as connectivity, has a pivotal …

The ecologically and socio-economically important marine ecosystems of Europe are facing
severe threats from a variety of human impacts. To mitigate and potentially reverse some of …

Effective fisheries management needs to consider spatial behavior in addition to more
traditional aspects of population dynamics. Acoustic telemetry has been extensively used to …

Increased timidity is a behavioral response to exploitation caused by a combination of
learning and fisheries-induced selection favoring shy fish. In our study, the potential for …

The ecological monitoring in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) needs technological
implementation to achieve the standard required for an advanced ecosystem management …

Estuarine and adjacent inshore habitats have long been recognised as important nursery
areas for fishes before they disperse to coastal habitats. Assessing nursery function supports …

Although inferring habitat selection and movement in wild fishes using otolith microchemistry
has been the subject of much debate, experimental results suggest that complex …

The usefulness of partial marine protected areas (MPA) that implement some form of
fisheries-management regulations, but do not ban fishing and the take of fish entirely, has …

Off the Ningaloo coast of North West Western Australia, Spangled Emperor Lethrinus
nebulosus are among the most highly targeted recreational fish species. The Ningaloo Reef …

The seasonal timing of recurring biological processes is essential for organisms living in
temperate regions. While ample knowledge of these processes exists for terrestrial …
