Effects of Global Climate Changes on Marine Fishery Resources
Since the 1990s of the last century, the world’s marine fisheries have entered a turning point. In 1990, the global marine catch declined for the... -
Size structure of Antarctic krill inferred from samples of Pygoscelid penguin diets and those collected by the commercial krill fishery
In the Antarctic Peninsula, during the chick-rearing period Adélie ( Pygoscelis adeliae ) and gentoo ( P. papua ) penguins feed primarily on Antarctic...

Natural Capital and Local Employment in Argentine Patagonia
Employment is a largely neglected indirect benefit in ecosystem services (ES) assessments, despite its relevance in countries with abundant rural... -
Parasite assemblages as indicators of stability in stock structure of Cynoscion guatucupa (Sciaenidae) after a quarter of century of exploitation in a marine warming hotspot
Climate change is impacting marine species, leading to shifts in their distribution to higher latitudes and to deeper locations. Parasite communities...

Introduction
Marine fishery is an important part of the world fishery. For a long time, it not only provides high-quality animal protein for human but also... -
Population genomic analysis of the commercially important shrimp Pleoticus muelleri (Crustacea: Decapoda: Solenoceridae) reveals the existence of two, northern and southern, lineages with adaptive genetic differences
Identifying the population genetic structure and adaptive diversity of fishery resources is essential for their resilience and sustainability. Pleoticu...
