Might a new aging tool help improve octopus fishery management?
A new tool uses growth rings on octopus beaks and stylets to validate their age, possibly leading to improved octopus fishery management.
Fishing effort dynamics around the Galápagos Marine Reserve as described by Automatic Identification System data
Spatial and seasonal data are essential to understanding fishing effort dynamics and improving fisheries management in less-studied areas.
Study: Many marine protected areas are failing to rebuild fish populations
To replenish adult spawners, marine protected areas, or MPAs, need strong enforcement, effective management and climate-friendly design to succeed.
With distinct genetic groups of mahimahi in the Tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean, is a new fishery management approach needed?
A new study reveals genetic differences among mahimahi captured in the Tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean, affecting the fishery management plan.
Geographic variation in risks due to climate change for fishing fleets that adapt in-place or adapt on-the-move
Long-term revenue and participation declines in U.S. groundfish fleets suggests risk due to climate change may be high and heterogeneous.

Project supports economically viable fisheries and aquaculture, helping overcome barriers to the valorization of seafood side-streams.
Protecting fish and communities should be balanced, concludes study of Marine Protected Areas
A study finds that Marine Protected Areas must be "flexible and responsive" to successfully restore fish stocks without harming communities.
Study: Mercury levels in tuna remain nearly unchanged since 1971
A study concludes that mercury levels in tuna appear to be unchanged since 1971 and calls for more aggressive emission-reduction targets.
