The mahseer fishes (Tor spp.) represent an iconic genus of large-bodied species of the
Cyprinidae family. Across the 16 recognised species in the genus, individual fish can attain …

Considerable time and money are expended in the pursuit of catching fish with hooks (eg,
handlining, angling, longlining, trolling, drumlining) across the recreational, commercial and …

Human exploitation of wild‐living animals has been suggested to create a 'landscape of
fear'. A consequence could be that individuals surviving intensive harvesting, either as a …

Size‐selective harvesting is assumed to alter life histories of exploited fish populations,
thereby negatively affecting population productivity, recovery, and yield. However …

The existence of a synthetic program of research on what was then termed the “nocturnal
problem” and that we might now call “nighttime ecology” was declared more than 70 years …

Although movement has always played an important role in fisheries science, movement
patterns are changing with changing ocean conditions. This affects availability to capture …

Many chemicals spilled in aquatic ecosystems can interfere with cognitive abilities and brain
functions that control fitness-related behaviour. Hence, their harmful potential may be …

Animals, including fish, display individually consistent behavioral differences that may affect
an individual's vulnerability not only to predation, but also to fishing. Compared with complex …

Predation is a fundamental aspect of ecology that drives ecosystem structure and function. A
better understanding of predation can be facilitated by using electronic tags that log or …

Abstract The effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) depends on the mobility of the
populations that are the target of protection, with sedentary species likely to spend more time …
