Abstract Deep-sea marine fishes support important fisheries but estimates of their distributions are often incomplete as the data behind them may reflect fishing practices, access rights, or political boundaries, rather than actual geographic distributions. We use a simple suitable habitat model based on bottom depth, temperature, and salinity to estimate potential distribution Greenland halibu...

Abstract Background Understanding connectivity is critical to the management of exploited fish stocks, but migratory dynamics Pacific halibut ( Hippoglossus stenolepis ) in Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands region are not well-understood. In current study, 145 ≥ 82 cm fork length were tagged with Pop-up Archival Transmitting (PAT) tags evaluate interannual dispersal, seasonal migration, depth-spe...

lymphatic filariasis (lf), a nematode disease transmitted by arthropod vectors, is repeatedly reported in immigrant population. this disease is not endemic in iran; however, different species of mosquitoes, capable of transmission of parasite mi-crofilaria, are distributed in the country. hereby, incidental detection of an im-ported case of lf due to wuchereria bancrofti in an indian worker in ...

We investigated the nursery role of four coastal ecosystems for the California halibut (Paralichthys californicus) using the following metrics: (1) contribution in producing the fish that advance to older age classes, (2) connectivity of coastal systems resulting from migration of fish from juvenile to subadult habitats, and (3) effect of nursery habitat usage and availability on subadult popul...
