The oblong large-eye seabream Gymnocranius oblongus Borsa, Béarez and Chen, 2010, has been described based on specimens from New Caledonia, the only locality where this species has been recorded up to now. Here, new records are reported from Taiwan, which is located over 7,000 km from the previously known site of occurrence. Nucleotide sequences at...
The presence of tropical species has been reported in Atlantic-European waters with increasing frequency in recent years. Unfortunately, the history of their migrations is not well understood. In this study, we examined the routes and timing of fish migrations in several ecosystems of the East Atlantic Ocean, combining several publicly available an...
We report the use of generalized additive models to define possible thermal windows related to high abundance of Sardinella aurita and Engraulis encrasicolus in Senegalese waters. Landing data from 1999 to 2009, considered as an abundance index, remotely sensed thermal data (sea surface temperature, SST from AVHRR Pathfinder V5) and a temporal vari...

Discards are the portion of animal and plant material in the catch that is dumped back at sea. The Common Fisheries Policy plan proposed by the European Commission for 2014-2020 presents a controversial goal: to enforce the landing of fishing discards as a measure to encourage their reduction. This historical and political decision will shape the f...
