Simple Summary The vast majority of the world's commercial fish stocks are considered
overfished. Among demersal species, in the Mediterranean Sea, the European hake …

Migrations of large pelagic fishes across the Pacific are usually inferred from tagging or
genetic studies. Even though these techniques have improved over time, they still fail to …

This study aimed to describe updated information on the basic reproductive biology of
Sphoeroides annulatus females and potential use of the gonadosomatic index IG as input …

Mercury (Hg) concentrations based on dietary sources have shown to predict differences in
fish; however, they are usually applied at an individual scale and are rarely directed at a …

Simple Summary The size at which 50 percent of a fish population reaches sexual maturity
is an important parameter of life history and is useful for setting conservation goals and …

To estimate mean size at sexual maturity (L 50), a particular model is usually selected
arbitrarily, and this decision does not consider the functional form (FF) of both the model …

Context Within the western and central North Pacific Ocean stock of striped marlin (Kajikia
audax), reproductive information is lacking for the central North Pacific. Aims To derive …

The integrated biochemical condition (IBC) of gonads is closely related to the reproductive
success of highly migratory marine species. The IBC of gonads can be influenced not only …

Abstract Knowledge of spawning strategies of large pelagic fish could provide insights into
their underlying evolutionary drivers, but large-scale information on spawning is limited …

Striped marlin, Kajikia audax, a top bycatch of the longline fishery, has been designated as
being in overfished condition in the Western and Central North Pacific, and overfishing is still …
