Spatial and temporal size distribution of swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean: impl...
Rosa, Daniela; Schirripa, Michael; Gillespie, Kyle; Macías, David; Forselledo, Rodrigo; Mourato, Bruno; Kai, Mikihiko; Arocha, Freddy; Su, Nan-JaySwordfish (Xiphias gladius) is a common target species of surface pelagic longline fisheries. In the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, swordfish is managed as three separate stocks, all having management measures in place to rebuild or conserve the stocks, including minimum landing sizes. The objective of this study was to review size data for swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean, model the sex-specific size dis...
Global habitat predictions to inform spatiotemporal fisheries management: initi...
Bowlby, Heather D.; Druon, Jean-Noël; Lopez, Jon; Juan-Jordá, Maria José; Carreón-Zapiain, María Teresa; Vandeperre, Frederic; Leone, AgostinoTuna Regional Fishery Management Organizations (tRFMOs) are increasingly interested in spatiotemporal management as a tool to reduce interaction rates with vulnerable species. We use blue shark ( Prionace glauca ) as a case study to demonstrate the critical first steps in the implementation process, highlighting how predictions of global habitat for vulnerable life stages can be transformed into a publicly -acc...
Trophic-mediated pelagic habitat structuring and partitioning by sympatric elas...
Afonso, André S.; Macena, Bruno C.L.; Mourato, Bruno; Bezerra, Natalia P.A.; Mendonça, Sibele; Queiroz, Joyce D.G.R. de; Hazin, Fábio H.V.Pelagic elasmobranchs are key elements of oceanic ecosystems and must be preserved if marine trophic networks are to be kept in balance. Yet, they face intense fishing pressure that has been threatening their populations worldwide. Ensuring proper conservation management of these taxa depends on a better understanding of the strategies they use to explore the pelagic realm and their contributions to trophic web...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; Since the Miocene profound climatic changes have influenced the biology and ecology of species worldwide, such as their connectivity, genetic population structure, and biogeography. The goal herein is to evaluate the phylogeography of sailfish Istiophorus platypterus between the Atlantic, Indian, and Pa...
The effect of light attractor color in pelagic longline fisheries
Afonso, André S.; Mourato, Bruno; Hazin, Humberto; Hazin, Fábio H.V.Improving the selectivity of the fishing gear is one of the most promising methods to mitigate deleterious impacts of longline fisheries upon bycatch species. Light lures have recently become widespread in epipelagic longline fisheries since they increase the catch rates of valuable target species such as swordfish and tunas. Yet, little is known about their effect upon the incidence of bycatch. Here, we compar...

da Silva Ferrette, Bruno Lopes; Mourato, Bruno; Vieira Hazin, Fabio Hissa; Arocha, Freddy; Williams, Samuel Mackey; Rodrigues Junior, Carlos EgbertoSince the Miocene profound climatic changes have influenced the biology and ecology of species worldwide, such as their connectivity, genetic population structure, and biogeography. The goal herein is to evaluate the phylogeography of sailfish Istiophorus platypterus between the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans. Our results evidenced a high genetic diversity and three distinct populations among the ocean ba...
