Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling of marine debris pathways into UK waters: Example of non-native crustaceans transported across the Atlantic Ocean on floating marine debris.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors applied the Oil Spill Contingency and Response (OSCAR) simulation tool, an adapted oil spill modelling program, which was informed by a combination of biological trait information for the foulant species, marine debris characteristics and hydrodynamic data.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors quantified multiple aspects of global inland recreational fisheries for 81 countries spanning ~192 species and estimated recreational fishing participation rate and estimated species-specific harvest and consumption rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using recreational divers to inform more efficient conservation management within an MPA - A case study from the Cape Peninsula, South Africa
TL;DR: In this article , a semi-structured questionnaire with responses from around 30% of the local diving community showed that while users attached a high value to the marine environment in which they dive, they presented a lack of knowledge around the regulations and conditions involved with diving within the TMNP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental related variation in growth and life-history traits of non-native sailfin catfishes (Pterygoplichthys spp.) across river basins of South China
TL;DR: In this article , variations in multiple biological traits of NN sailfin catfishes Pterygoplichthys spp. were investigated in the main river basins of the Guangdong and Hainan provinces of South China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding and improving biosecurity among recreational anglers in Great Britain.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors used an online questionnaire to collect information on angler socio-demographic characteristics, voluntary biosecurity behaviour, and barriers affecting the implementation of best practices in Great Britain in 2018, finding that cleaning behaviours vary considerably amongst anglers, with angling frequency and the number of pieces of equipment affecting how likely anglers were to clean and dry these items.
