A new study examines the correlation between fish yield and live coral habitats. Researchers analyzed the yields of nine fisheries dependent on Australia's Great Barrier Reef from 2016 to 2020. Results show that substantial losses could occur if the ...
A study shows how a single gene in Atlantic salmon can dramatically influence the timing of puberty -- a key factor for salmon life cycle and ...
Scientists are exploring a new model for carbon capture in low-oxygen aquatic environments, such as fisheries, that will help address rising global temperatures and could potentially be ...
In an effort to conserve sensitive species of fish, some sport fishing is entirely catch-and-release, meaning that the fish are returned to the water once brought ashore. However, too much fishing may affect the behavior of the target species and ...
