Different dolphin and tuna species have frequently been reported to aggregate in areas of high frontal activity, sometimes developing close multi-species associations to increase feeding success. Aerial surveys are a common tool to monitor the density and abundance of marine mammals, and have recently become a focus in the search for methods to provide fisheries-independent abundance indicators...

Swimming fishes exhibit remarkable diversities of the caudal fin geometries. In this work, a computational study is conducted to investigate the effects of the caudal fin shape on the hydrodynamic performance and wake patterns in flapping propulsion. We construct the propulsor models in different shapes by digitizing the real caudal fins of fish across a wide range of species spanning homocerca...

A new species of dart fish, Parioglossus galzini sp. nov., is described based on specimens collected in Haurei Bay, Rapa Island (French Polynesia). It is distinguished from all other described species of Parioglossus as follows: dark lateral body stripe absent, 100 or more scales in longitudinal series from above pectoral-fin base to base of caudal fin, pectoral-fin rays 19–21, membrane of firs...

The by-product from tuna processing is a potential source of edible protein. Therefore, it is very important to extract protein from such raw materials for human food. In this study the optimum pH for protein extraction from tuna by-products was optimized by using isoelectric solubilization and precipitation processes. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and the single factor model were used...

The need for fishery products that are healthy, safe, legal, sustainable, and democratic from time to continues increase. This makes the export destination country require a certificate issued by an institution. One of standards used such countries is MSC ecolabel. ecolabel endorsement product meets criteria environmental sustainability procedures hasbeen well managed. Ecolabel identifies fishe...
