The accurate assessment and management of Blue Mackerel (Scomber australasicus) and Chub Mackerel (Scomber japonicus) resources in the high seas of the Northwest Pacific are constrained by the persistent issue of data misreporting in catch records, w...
The mackerel fishery is Taiwan’s most productive coastal fishery sector, with the blue mackerel (Scomber australasicus) being its primary target species. Given the economic and ecological significance of this fishery, considerable attention has...
The blue jack mackerel Trachurus picturatus (Bowdich, 1825) specimens (N = 155) were collected during the MEDITS survey, done along the eastern side, precisely, of the Croatian fishing ground in July 2018. Biometrical analysis of ten morphometric and...
Anisakidosis is a fish-borne zoonosis caused by parasitic nematodes of the family Anisakidae, of which the species belonging to Anisakis simplex complex are the most representative. It is considered an emerging disease in Spain. The objective of this...
The expansion of fisheries and aquaculture in recent decades has led to a substantial increase in fish by-products. This study investigates the extraction and characterization of calcium phosphates from the by-products of representative species in th...
We live in a world of limited biological resources and ecosystems, which are essential to feed people. Consequently, diversifying target species and considering full exploitation are essential for fishery sustainability. The present study focuses on...
This paper proposes a method for automatic discrimination of two mackerel species: Scomber japonicus (chub mackerel) and Scomber australasicus (blue mackerel). Because S. japonicus has a much higher market price than S. australasicus, the two species...
Blue mackerel (Scomber australasicus) is a crucial target species for coastal fisheries in Taiwan, and additionally it has maintained its status as the highest-produced species. The timely measurement of spawning status is crucial for determining the...
In the current work, we study the capacity of 30 peptones obtained by enzyme proteolysis of ten discarded fish species (hake, megrim, red scorpionfish, pouting, mackerel, gurnard, blue whiting, Atlantic horse mackerel, grenadier, and boarfish) to sup...
The increasing reliance on imported fish products in Kazakhstan raises concerns about the presence of fish-borne parasitic infections, particularly zoonotic helminths that pose risks to public health. This study aimed to assess the diversity and prev...
Fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs) were obtained from different fish sources using a combination of microbial enzymes. The industrially produced FPHs from blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) and sprat (Sprattus sprattus) were compared to freeze-dri...
Fish discards and by-products can be transformed into high value-added products such as fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) containing bioactive peptides. Protein hydrolysates were prepared from different parts (whole fish, skin and head) of several disc...
Electrospun nanofibers have been applied as a new technology for gas indicators in food intelligent packaging. A poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/red cabbage anthocyanin (RCA)-based nanofiber volatile amines gas indicator was developed by applying...
Gut microbial communities perform a multitude of physiological functions for their hosts; however, the drivers and distribution patterns of microbiota in wild animals remain largely underexplored. Our understanding of how these microbial communities...
Histamine, an important safety index for aquatic products, can also be used as a freshness indicator for red-fleshed fish. In this work, magnetic graphene oxide (Fe3O4@GO, MGO) was applied to immobilize diamine oxidase (DAO) through a method of adsor...
Mackerel (Auxis thazard), a tropical dark-fleshed fish, is currently a viable resource for the manufacture of surimi, but the optimal washing procedure for more efficient use of this particular species is required right away. Washing is the most crit...
The industrial production of marine bacteria with probiotic properties is limited by the excessive cost of the culture media adequate for their growth. The present work aimed to study the suitability of 30 marine media formulated with nitrogen source...
Fishers’ experiential knowledge (FEXK) is increasingly recognized as a potential source of information on fishery resources, particularly in data-deficient scenarios. In the Azores, fisheries are classified as small-scale because around 60% of...
Growth modelling is essential to inform fisheries management but is often hampered by sampling biases and imperfect data. Additional methods such as interpolating data through back-calculation may be used to account for sampling bias but are often co...
Overfishing is increasing over time, and according to FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), about one third of the world’s fish stocks are now overfished. Thus, diversifying the target species is essential for fisheries sustainability contri...
Research on the trophic transfer of trace elements in food chains, particularly toxic elements like mercury (Hg) and essential elements like selenium (Se), is crucial for understanding their impact on human health. In this work, we assessed the trans...
Quality changes of protein and non-protein nitrogen compounds during industrial fishmeal processing of fatty pelagic species (mackerel/herring rest material blend, MHB) and lean fish (whole blue whiting, BW) were studied to identify processing steps...

The aim of this study was to estimate the fish quality in terms of the Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn contents. The research material was the muscle tissue of the fish crucian carp (Carassius carassius Linnaeus, 1758), flounder (Platichthys flesus Linnaeus, 1758)...
The common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) is one of the most abundant small cetaceans along the Galician coast and a definitive host for the nematode parasite Anisakis, which is transmitted to cetaceans through the food chain. This study aimed to analys...
Combining scientific information with fishers’ perceptions may be a robust approach for directing decision-makers working with marine ecosystems. This is particularly the case when baseline data on a vulnerable stock are poor, as the integratio...
Fish are one of the most important components of the ocean, playing relevant ecological roles and providing several ecosystem services. Large migratory fish, such as tunas, mackerels and amberjacks, can function as valuable indicators of ocean health...
