From prey to predators: Evidence of microplastic trophic transfer in tuna and large pelagic species in the southwestern Tropical Atlantic

Plastic pollution is present in most marine environments; however, contamination in pelagic predators, including species of economic interest, is still poorly understood. This study aims

Fishers’ perceptions of global change to inform coastal planning in a data-poor socio-ecological system

Fishers’ perceptions of global change to inform coastal planning in a data-poor socio-ecological system

Global change has a significant impact on coastal populations and their reliance on coastal ecosystems and resources. This is particularly true for small-scale fisheries (SSF)

Stock assessment of Larimus breviceps, a bycatch species exploited by artisanal beach seining in Northeast Brazil

Stock assessment of Larimus breviceps, a bycatch species exploited by artisanal beach seining in Northeast Brazil

Motorized trawling was banned off part of the Brazilian coast in 1990 due to environmental impacts, thus artisanal fishermen adopted large beach seines as an

Exploring microplastic contamination in reef-associated fishes of the Tropical Atlantic

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in marine compartments, and their transboundary distribution favours the dispersion and accumulation of particles in ecosystems. This study investigated MP contamination

A New Species of the Dragonfish Genus Melanostomias (Stomiidae: Melanostomiinae) from the Western Tropical Atlantic

A new species of the scaleless black dragonfish genus Melanostomias is described based on a single specimen (180 mm SL) collected off the northern Fernando

Revealing the environmental pollution of two estuaries through histopathological biomarkers in five fishes from different trophic guilds of northeastern Brazil
  • 19 June 202319 June 2023

Revealing the environmental pollution of two estuaries through histopathological biomarkers in five fishes from different trophic guilds of northeastern Brazil

Estuaries in Brazil are mostly anthropically affected due to the discharge of industrial and domestic effluents. In two of them, the Santa Cruz Channel Estuary

Community-scale relationships between body shapeand trophic ecology in tropical demersal marine fish of northeast Brazil
  • 12 May 202312 May 2023

Community-scale relationships between body shapeand trophic ecology in tropical demersal marine fish of northeast Brazil

Functional morphology investigates the relationships between morphological characters and external factors, such as environmental, physical and ecological features. Here, we evaluate the functional relationships between

From the light blue sky to the dark deep sea: Trophic and resource partitioning between epipelagic and mesopelagic layers in a tropical oceanic ecosystem

The connection between epipelagic and deep-sea mesopelagic realms controls a variety of ecosystem processes including oceanic carbon storage and the provision of harvestable fish stocks.
