Marine debris is now a ubiquitous component of the Anthropocene global ocean. Plastic
ingestion by marine wildlife was first reported in the 1960s and since that time, roughly one …

Climate change and increased variability and intensity of climate events, in combination with
recovering protected species populations and highly capitalized fisheries, are posing new …

Plastic pollution is an anthropogenic stressor in marine ecosystems globally. Many species
of marine fish (more than 50) ingest plastic debris. Ingested plastic has a variety of lethal and …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a new approach for assessing marine
biodiversity that may overcome challenges of traditional monitoring and complement both …

Abstract The California Current Trophic Database (CCTD) was developed at NOAA
Southwest Fisheries Science Center in collaboration with numerous diet data contributors …

The central stock of northern anchovy (CSNA; Engraulis mordax), the most abundant small
pelagic fish in the southern California Current, is key to ecosystem functions. We review …

Diet analysis is a vital tool for understanding trophic interactions and is frequently used to
inform conservation and management. Molecular approaches can identify diet items that are …

The benefits and ecosystem services that humans derive from the oceans are threatened by
numerous global change stressors, one of which is ocean acidification. Here, we describe …

Due to their global distribution, high biomass and energy content, euphausiids (krill) are
important prey for many mid and upper trophic level marine organisms. Understanding …

Anthropogenic marine litters or microplastics (MPs) accumulation in marine organisms is an
emerging environmental threat. In this background, the gastrointestinal tract of Coilia …
