The common dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) is an epipelagic thermophilic species with
a worldwide distribution in tropical and subtropical regions that is characterized by its …

Life for many of the world's marine fish begins at the ocean surface. Ocean conditions dictate
food availability and govern survivorship, yet little is known about the habitat preferences of …

Most marine animals have a pelagic larval phase that develops in the coastal or open
ocean. The fate of larvae has profound effects on replenishment of marine populations that …

Quantifying vertical distributions of pelagic predators elucidates pelagic ecosystem structure
and informs fisheries management. In the tropical South Atlantic Ocean, the recently …

Tunas are highly specialized predators that have evolved numerous adaptations for a
lifestyle that requires large amounts of energy consumption. Here we review our …

Trophic pathways and size-based bioaccumulation rates of total mercury were evaluated
among recreationally caught albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus …

Background Ecosystem modeling applied to fisheries remains hampered by a lack of local
information. Fishers' knowledge could fill this gap, improving participation in and the …

This study explored the influence of climatic oscillations on the striped, blue, and silver
marlin catch rates in the Indian Ocean by using logbook data from Taiwanese large-scale …

The third and final part of the review of flying fishes of the genus Cypselurus Swainson,
focused on subgenus Cypselurus s. str., is presented. The first and the second parts of the …

Abstract Information on the ecology and feeding behaviour of the large oceanic predatory
fishes is crucial for the ecosystem approaches to fisheries management models. Co-existing …
