Summary: This study investigated the seasonal variation in trace element composition of white anglerfish otoliths and illicia and found that elemental concentrations at the edge of the illicium were primarily related to fish length, while Sr concentrations in otoliths were highest in anglerfish collected during wintertime. Although the seasonal differences in Sr were statistically significant but small, the seasonal pattern was consistently detected across all size classes.

Summary: The present study updated the previously proposed quality index (QI) scheme for fresh and whole Lophius piscatorius stored in ice by including 3 characters, namely appearance, eye, and fin, for a total of 18 demerit points. A positive linear correlation between QI score and storage time was observed, and the proposed scheme offers a ready-to-use freshness assessment of the anglerfish.

Summary: This study investigated the migration and distribution patterns of adult anglerfish in the Faroese waters. It was found that the fish displayed a clear seasonal offshore-onshore migration, occupying shallower waters during summer and deeper waters, particularly on the western side of the Faroe shelf, during winter. The fish showed vertical activity variations, with higher activity during winter and night time.

Summary: Genetics can help understand population connectivity of white anglerfish and its interaction with black anglerfish. The study found that white anglerfish is likely a single panmictic population, some specimens classified as white anglerfish are genetically identified as black anglerfish, and the two Lophius species naturally hybridize. The results set the basis for a genetics-informed white anglerfish assessment framework.

Summary: The study aimed to test the distinction of Gymnocypris selincuoensis stocks using otolith shape from three rivers and eight lakes in northern Tibet. Results indicated that riverine otolith stocks had higher rates of successful classification compared with lacustrine otolith stocks, with Chargut Co and Kyaring Co lakes showing the highest rates of misclassification.

Summary: Otolith shape analysis is a powerful method for fish stock identification, and in the study of Red Porgy, four potential stocks were identified in different regions of the southwestern Atlantic. The differences in otolith shape suggest that Red Porgy does not form a homogeneous group in southern Brazil.

Summary: The structure and connectivity of European seabass populations remain poorly known, and a study found that 64% of individuals exhibited spawning site fidelity. Developmental stages and geographical factors were found to significantly influence ecological factors.

Summary: Otoliths are important biomarkers for fish growth, and climate change may affect their calcification and morphology. However, the shape of otoliths seems to be unaffected by climate change. The onset of otolith morphogenesis is fixed, but the relationship between otoliths and fish size is dependent on the environment.

Summary: The study suggests that directional bilateral asymmetry in otolith shape could be a new method for stock identification. Research on common sole and bogue shows significant asymmetry among individuals caught in different locations, indicating potential separation based on shape asymmetry.

Summary: This study for the first time analyzed the growth pattern and parameters of Atlantic chub mackerel in Northern Iberian waters, revealing two different growth patterns. The results obtained from otolith marginal analyses and length frequency analyses supported the age estimation criteria used, and the growth parameters from DAE are proposed for future stock assessment.

Summary: Unaccounted mortality from discarding or pre-catch losses poses a significant challenge for fisheries management, potentially leading to stock underestimation by up to 20%. Eliminating discard and pre-catch mortality could increase allowed catches and improve the efficiency of pelagic resource utilization.

Summary: The saccular otolith shape and size were analysed for the first time in adult individuals of D. vulgaris from Bizerte and Ghar El Melh lagoons in northeast Tunisia. Significant differences were found in otolith shape and size among individuals from the two localities, indicating distinct stock structures.

Summary: This study focuses on the sensitivity analysis of two length-based methods, namely length-based indicators (LBI) and length-based spawning potential ratio (LBSPR), in the Bay of Biscay and the Iberian Coast ecoregion. The results indicate that both methods are sensitive to variations in input parameters, with the accuracy of the L-infinity parameter having a more significant impact on the assessment results.
