Natural mortality rates in tropical tunas: size really does matter

John Hampton
- 01 May 2000 - 
TL;DR: Important size-related variability in natural mortality rates has been revealed in populations of skipjack tuna, yellowfin tuna, and bigeye tuna in the western tropical Pacific Ocean using a new, size-structured tagging model.

Environmental Effects on Cephalopod Population Dynamics: Implications for Management of Fisheries

Paul G. Rodhouse, +17 more
- 01 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: Assessment in many fisheries is complicated because cephalopods are ecological opportunists and stocks appear to have benefited from the reduction of key predator by overexploitation, so there is a particular need for a precautionary approach in these cases.

Dynamics of Seagrass Stability and Change

Carlos M. Duarte, +3 more
TL;DR: Seagrass meadows are highly dynamic landscapes maintained through the continuous recruitment of new clones to the meadow, and the growth and the turnover of the shoots they contain, which results from the combination of processes operating at various scales.

The catadromous European eel Anguilla anguilla (L.) as a model for freshwater evolutionary ecotoxicology: Relationship between heavy metal bioaccumulation, condition and genetic variability

Gregory E. Maes, +6 more
- 01 Jun 2005 - 
TL;DR: A reduced genetic variability in strongly polluted eels is observed, as well as a negative correlation between level of bioaccumulation and allozymatic multi-locus heterozygosity (MLH), suggesting an impact of pollution on the health of sub-adult eels.

What is Big BRUVver up to? Methods and uses of baited underwater video

Sasha K. Whitmarsh, +2 more
- 01 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: A protocol for what minimal information to include in methods sections is presented and authors are urged to include all relevant information to ensure replicability and allow adequate comparisons to be made across studies.
