This Special Issue contains 12 papers; in general, it covers the issues of sustainable fisheries governance, dispute settlement, IUU fishing, BBNJ Agreement, and high-seas fishing. In particular, some regional practices are also provided, including…
Otoliths are one of the most useful and important biological structures for the various
studies of fish, leading to many practical applications that are not limited only to
ichthyology. It is, therefore, not surprising that different approaches to…
This Special Issue was designed to address advances in feeding and feed technology
and challenges in aquaculture in order to achieve a greater understanding of its management
and improve the sector. According to the FAO (Food and Agriculture…
Gelatinase A (Mmp2 in zebrafish) is a well-characterized effector of extracellular matrix
remodeling, extracellular signaling, and along with other matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and
extracellular proteases, it plays important roles in the…
Our study analyzes the distribution of fish communities related to the environmental
variables of the Alto Madre de Dios River, an Andean-Amazon watershed of southern Peru, between
300 and 2811 m a.s.l. within the Manu Biosphere Reserve. We provide…
Across the globe, dozens of species of invasive fish are now found in fresh as well as
marine waters, where they alter habitats, compete with native fish for food, and prey on native fishes,
exerting both indirect and direct effects on ecosystems…
Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the greatest causes of native species extinction.
Indeed, they represent a global threat for biodiversity and can also affect the economy and human
health. The colonization success of IAS is presumably not…
This open access book is an original contribution to the knowledge on fishing and research associated with one of the most enigmatic fish of our seas: bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus (L.). Based on available evidence, it reconstructs the possible…
The research investigates the Sicilian western coast contemporary landscapes starting with an historical study about tonnare, architectural heritage and physical expression of the tuna-fishing’s tradition. The aim is to demonstrate that the Sicilian…
This book provides an understanding on a large variety of related topics in fish biology. The further development on molecular and cellular biology and ecology leads to assimilate the newer scientific knowledge in this area. Leading research works…
