Recent advances in the application of stock identification methods have revealed
inconsistencies between the spatial structure of biological populations and the definition of …

Otolith chemistry has become a key tool to identify and delineate fish stock units. Its
successful application as a natural tag in stock discrimination studies is based on the ability …

Changing environmental temperatures impact the physiological performance of fishes, and
consequently their distributions. A mechanistic understanding of the linkages between …

Effective sustainable management of marine fisheries requires that assessed management
units (that is, fish stocks) correspond to biological populations. This issue has long been …

Tunas show a wide variety of life history strategies, spatial distributions and migratory
behaviors, yet they share a common trait of spawning only in tropical and sub-tropical …

Natural chemical markers (stable isotopes and trace elements) in otoliths of bigeye tuna
(Thunnus obesus) and yellowfin tuna (T. albacares) were used to investigate their origin and …

The objective of this study was to advance the use of pop-up satellite archival tags to track
the migrations of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) to their spawning grounds …

The Atlantic bluefin tuna is a highly migratory species emblematic of the challenges
associated with shared fisheries management. In an effort to resolve the species' stock …

Many highly mobile species are known to use persistent pathways or corridors to move
between habitat patches in which conditions are favorable for particular activities, such as …

Over the past 40 years, northwestern Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) have
experienced high rates of exploitation, targeted fishing on the largest size classes of the …
