Catch & Culture Review: Bioeconomic modeling for tuna fisheries and bespoke fisheries management
In this review of recent fisheries literature, we examine tuna harvest strategy optimization and why a one-size-fits-all management approach fails.
Salmon-counting could be a breeze as environmental DNA technology advances
Study shows that environmental DNA (eDNA) can be detected in the air with no power sources, a potential boon for salmon fisheries managers.
TNC-backed Edge AI seeks to streamline electronic monitoring in the ongoing effort to fight IUU fishing
With cost a barrier to wider adoption of electronic monitoring, a new tool aims to improve catch counts with lower miss rates compared to humans.
Illuminating the way: How light technology is reshaping fisheries
Fishing innovation is transitioning from bigger engines, stronger gear and more sophisticated electronics to something far more subtle: light.
Catch & Culture Review: Ocean shifts are shaping yellowfin tuna productivity in the Pacific
Fisheries literature review covers pelagic stock management, puerulus fisheries supporting spiny lobster aquaculture and nutrition security in Peru.
As ocean technology advances, fisheries face a new challenge: scaling it
From AI to vessel tracking, ocean technology is transforming fisheries – but getting them into the water at scale remains difficult.
UN report warns declining migratory freshwater fish a threat to global inland fisheries
UN report warns migratory freshwater fish populations are collapsing, raising concerns for inland fisheries worldwide.
Report spotlights emerging technologies to improve animal welfare in capture fisheries
An ALI report outlines emerging technologies and practices to improve animal welfare in fisheries, including AI monitoring.
Severe U.S. drought linked to major Gulf fisheries decline decades ago, study finds
Study finds a late-1980s U.S. drought triggered major declines in Gulf of Mexico fisheries, raising future food security risks.
Catch & Culture Review: How climate change may alter the trajectory of North Sea demersal fisheries
Our monthly fisheries literature review examines fundamentals of fisheries management, fishery dynamics of squid and climate change impacts on Pandalus jordani.
NOAA scientists track massive marine heatwave affecting U.S. West Coast waters
NOAA scientists track a massive marine heatwave off the U.S. West Coast that could affect fisheries, species shifts and harmful algal blooms.
Fish are getting smaller as global food webs quietly reorganize, study finds
Study finds global fish food webs are shifting toward smaller species and fewer top predators, even where species counts stay stable.
Good fences make good fisheries: Alaska flatfish fleet mitigates orca bycatch via innovation
The “orca fence,” designed to mitigate accidental catch of killer whales, is showing positive results after only a couple years of use.
Would shifting to more terrestrial protein production accelerate biodiversity loss? Recent study says yes
Authors argue that expanding land-based protein production could amplify biodiversity loss, whereas well-managed fisheries can operate within existing ecosystem structures.
Catch & Culture Review: Advancing climate-ready fishery management through near-term interventions
A pragmatic pathway for climate adaptation in fisheries prioritizes feasible, low-risk actions to build adaptive capacity, rather than waiting for perfect data.
Are ocean warming and heavy fishing shrinking meals for fish in UK waters?
A recent study finds fish across Britain’s seas face ever-smaller meals as warming waters and intensive fishing squeeze ocean food webs.
