Summary: An inverse relationship of fishery between anchovy and sardine along the coast of the south-eastern Arabian Sea is connected to regional environmental parameters and global climate variability. Surface current anomalies and upwelling patterns during periods of abundance for anchovy and sardine are influenced by climate indices in the SEAS.

Summary: The abundance of adult fish depends on the survival of early life stages, which are influenced by mesoscale events in the marine environment. This study investigated the relationship between different mesoscale processes and the catches of Pacific sardine in the Gulf of California. The results showed that eddies and coastal upwelling had significant effects on the catches, while the persistence of Tropical surface sea water intrusion also played a role. The findings highlight the importance of considering these processes in climate change scenarios to understand their impact on trophic dynamics in the Gulf of California.

Summary: The yield from fisheries and aquaculture production has increased due to the growing world population and increased seafood consumption. Aquaculture production has surpassed wild fisheries, including species such as Atlantic salmon. However, the challenge of rising seawater temperatures due to climate change poses a concern for Atlantic salmon aquaculture. This study focused on determining the genomic heritability of seawater temperature tolerance in Atlantic salmon and its genetic architecture for effective broodstock management.

Summary: This study monitored the breeding activities of Barn Swallows in both tropical and temperate regions in China and investigated the effects of weather conditions on their reproductive success. The results showed that the reproductive success of Barn Swallows was lower in the tropical site compared to the temperate site, with fewer eggs and nestlings. Temperature, especially in the tropical site, had a negative impact on nestling survival. The study suggests the importance of paying attention to the reproductive and population changes of Barn Swallows in the tropics in the context of climate warming.

Summary: Refrigeration is an important method for preserving meat products, but temperature fluctuations during this process can have significant impacts on the quality of the meat. In this study, pork loin and salmon fillets were preserved at 4 degrees Celsius for different durations, and the effects of temperature fluctuations and shocks were examined. The results showed that fluctuations of +/- 2 degrees Celsius led to changes in various meat parameters and accelerated the degradation of muscle proteins. Furthermore, these fluctuations also reduced the expression of certain proteins and the diversity of bacteria, while also increasing meat spoilage. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the proper use of refrigerated temperatures for storing meat products.

Summary: Refrigeration is crucial for preserving meat products, but temperature fluctuations and shocks during refrigeration can have significant impacts on product quality. This study found that temperature fluctuations and shocks accelerated the degradation of muscle proteins, increased meat spoilage, and reduced bacteria diversity. Therefore, it is important to control temperature fluctuations and shocks when storing meat products.

Summary: This study examined the directional orientation of cavity entrances in the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker population. The results showed a strong westward bias in all populations studied. The orientation of the cavities was found to be correlated with reproductive success and breeding group size, indicating the importance of directional construction in animal ecology and the conservation of endangered species.

Summary: Using high-resolution stable isotope and microstructure analyses, this study reveals that sardine populations in the western and eastern North Pacific have different early life metabolic and growth rates that respond contrastingly to temperature variations. These findings could explain observations of different responses in these populations to decadal-scale temperature anomalies.

Summary: In this study, the researchers investigated the impact of temperature on stress and immune response of Atlantic salmon to salmon lice infestation. The results showed that lice infestation affected the expression of immune and wound healing genes in the skin, especially at the attachment site. The study also found that low temperatures impaired the host immune responses toward salmon lice, but had a more detrimental effect on the lice themselves. Additionally, the fish infected with lice had a higher increase in cortisol levels, indicating a higher stress response compared to un-infested fish.

Summary: The study revealed that hemiepiphytic Ficus species are better adapted to drier and warmer conditions, showing higher germination and seedling survival rates. In contrast, non-hemiepipytic species had higher germination rates under greater water stress. Hemiepiphytic Ficus species germinated more readily at higher relative humidity levels.

Summary: The study found that the mechanisms driving range-wide reductions in Atlantic salmon marine survival are hindered by a lack of understanding of their oceanic ecology and distribution. The individual salmon migrated further and in different directions than previously reported, showing increased diving activity near oceanographic fronts, highlighting the importance of these regions as feeding areas. Differences in oceanic distribution among individuals and populations may contribute to variations in growth and survival due to environmental conditions.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between size, condition, year class, family, and sexual maturity in Atlantic salmon. The findings show that males with larger size and better condition at 1 year of age are more likely to be sexually mature at 2 years of age. Females with larger size and better condition at 2 years of age are more likely to be sexually mature at 3 years of age. The family has a significant influence on sexual maturity in 2-year-old males.

Summary: Predicting the effects of climate on fitness-linked phenotypic traits, such as body size, is essential for species management and conservation. The study found population-specific responses to temperature and density in Pacific salmon, suggesting that local habitat conditions may play a role in filtering larger-scale climate drivers.
