The study of the morphological and chemical characteristics of otoliths have recently been
proposed as complementary tools for fish stock identification. However, their effectiveness …

Deep-water fishes have only recently moved from being objects of scientific curiosity to
objects of commercial exploitation. For an increasing number of species, today a single trawl …

Seamounts are biologically distinctive open ocean habitats exhibiting a number of unique
features. They have received much attention mainly because of the presence of substantial …

Local populations within a species can become isolated by stochastic or adaptive
processes, though it is most commonly the former that we quantify. Using presumably …

Little is understood about connectivity of deep-sea fish populations. Analysis of the
geochemical properties of fish otoliths is one way to draw inferences regarding their …

Abstract Knowledge of deep-sea reproductive biology is slight and interpretations of
reproductive strategies in deep-sea fishes are controversial. Since the Mediterranean is a …

It has been generally stated that fish exploited by deepwater fisheries cannot sustain high
levels of exploitation because of their characteristic slow growth, longevity and low …

The reproductive strategies of three benthopelagic species of deep-water fish from the
northeast Atlantic were studied: Helicolenus dactylopterus (245–800m depth) …

Three major fleets of high sea trawlers practising deep-water fishing are defined. Altogether,
these fleets catch more than 90% of the French landings of deep-water species. A …

The ability of six grenadier species from the North Atlantic, North Pacific, and Southern
Ocean to sustain deep-sea fisheries is assessed. These species are captured in high …
