Microplastics are frequently ingested by marine organisms, including commercially important seafood species. Ingestion can lead to a range of biological effects, influenced by the size, type and quantity of plastic, as well as the species impacted. Despite rising concern, and an escalating body of literature, there has been limited synthesis of how microplastics effect seafood species and what this means for the fishing, aquaculture and seafood sectors. To address this, we conducted a systematic review of experimental studies assessing the effects of microplastics on seafood species. We identified 1107 relevant studies, with microplastics found to effect 95.2% of all specimens tested, though exposure conditions (e.g., polymer type and size, concentration and duration of exposure) varied widely. Reported effects included changes in behaviour, growth and development, immune and reproductive function, biomarker expression and mortality. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current evidence base, offering insight into the experiments conducted on seafood species such as bivalves, crustaceans and finfish, and their findings related to microplastic uptake, accumulation and health effects. By identifying patterns and gaps in existing research, we highlight opportunities to improve the design and focus of future studies. With a large body of research already established, it is critical that future experiments build strategically on existing knowledge, moving beyond understanding individual level effects to population and ecosystem consequences, to support the sustainable management of seafood resources and our broader marine environment.","PeriodicalId":169,"journal":{"name":"Fish and Fisheries","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146198742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Underwater fish observation (UFObs) techniques, such as Underwater Visual Census (UVC), stereo‐Baited Remote Underwater Video (stereo‐BRUV) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), play a key role in sustaining long‐term data collection. Despite technological advancements, gaps persist in understanding research focus, geographic distribution and methodological biases inherent in these methods. We conducted a scientometric analysis of 1443 peer‐reviewed publications (1953–2023), employing natural language processing and network analysis to map the research landscape. We identified 15 knowledge clusters, including marine protected areas, apex predator conservation and reef ecosystems. Our findings reveal increasing use of BRUVS and ROVs in studies of marine protected areas and subsea infrastructure, while UVC remains prevalent in shallow coral reef research. Geographic representation is skewed, with the field dominated by researchers based in Australia and the United States, and underrepresented in Africa and Southeast Asia. This imbalance highlights the need for more inclusive, globally coordinated monitoring and reporting. Our results underscore the urgency of standardising protocols within each observation method and developing interoperable reporting frameworks across techniques to maximise data comparability and foster international collaboration. Addressing these challenges will strengthen the field's capacity to inform global conservation strategies and support sustainable fisheries management.","PeriodicalId":169,"journal":{"name":"Fish and Fisheries","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146198743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the sector has been calling for this problem to be addressed, there is a dearth of academic work that examines in depth the state of employability and the challenges or conditions of access for young fishers. The aim of this study is to review the existing literature on generational replacement in small‐scale fisheries throughout Europe and to identify the main influencing factors and possible solutions.

In Europe, over one million barriers limit connectivity and create trade‐offs between ecological integrity and human uses, such as hydropower, flood control, fisheries and water storage. Furthermore, climate change can decrease habitat suitability, reinforcing migration needs to escape local extinctions. Limited knowledge of environmental triggers constrains species‐specific migration predictions. Here, we quantified the influence of seven environmental triggers—water temperature, flow, turbidity, cloud cover, rain, air pressure and radiation—on spawning migration of European freshwater fishes. A meta‐analysis of 112 studies (685,333 individuals, 953 effect sizes, 50 species) showed that water temperature was the dominant migration trigger. Radiation, turbidity and cloud cover showed weaker, context‐dependent effects, while effects of flow, rain and air pressure were non‐significant. Species‐specific average spawning migration temperatures correlated with upper limits of species‐specific thermal tolerances, indicating that migration timing reflects physiological constraints. Following this argument, we derive a new classification of thermal sensitivity for European freshwater fishes, distinguishing three thermal spawning guilds: cold (< 11°C), cool (11°C–15°C) and warm (> 15°C), with positive migration responses to temperature most frequently in warm‐water, less in cool‐water and rarely in cold‐water species. Our synthesis identifies gaps for species and triggers beyond temperature and flow, providing a quantitative basis for predicting spawning migration timing to guide conservation and connectivity restoration in European rivers.","PeriodicalId":169,"journal":{"name":"Fish and Fisheries","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146122172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As global warming drives marine species toward cooler or deeper waters, ABFT distributions are expected to shift, potentially disrupting predator–prey dynamics and fisheries interactions. This study models future habitat suitability for ABFT, its primary prey (as a proxy for food availability), and the drifting longline fishery that targets adult ABFT under three climate scenarios (SSP1‐2.6, SSP3‐7.0, SSP5‐8.5). Results indicate a poleward shift in ABFT distribution, with habitat losses in tropical regions and gains in boreal zones. Prey species show similar trends, increasing spatial overlap with ABFT in higher latitudes while decreasing in tropical areas. These boreal regions may act as climate <jats:italic>refugia</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>bright spots</jats:italic> , with a projected 15% increase in prey overlap by century's end. However, ABFT key spawning grounds—the Mediterranean Sea and Gulf of Mexico—are projected to become significantly less suitable for adults, with habitat suitability declining by up to 27% and 73%, respectively, threatening reproductive success. Meanwhile, overlap with the drifting longline fishery may decline by 4%, unless fishing efforts also shift poleward. Regions such as Greenland and northern Europe may become increasingly important for ABFT persistence and expansion. These distributional changes could challenge current international agreements and quota systems, underscoring the need for adaptive, climate‐resilient management strategies.","PeriodicalId":169,"journal":{"name":"Fish and Fisheries","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146122173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While significant research has been dedicated to understanding how organisms may respond to future climate change, most of these studies focus on individual levels of biological organisation in controlled laboratory settings, which often fail to capture the complexity of natural ecosystems. Organisms respond to climate stressors across various levels of biological organisation, which also involve complex interactions or feedback mechanisms among levels, making it difficult to generalise responses to climate change from laboratory experiments or single levels alone. Natural analogues provide a unique opportunity to observe complex ecological interactions in real‐world environments with long‐term exposure to climate change stressors. Here, we provide a systematic literature review to reveal how natural analogues of ocean warming and ocean acidification can be used to assess fish responses to climate change across multiple levels of biological organisation (from molecular to biogeographical scales) and to assess how cross‐level buffering and feedback mechanisms may shape fish species persistence in a future ocean. We identify key knowledge gaps and propose research frameworks that integrate natural analogues with laboratory experiments, mesocosms, and predictive models to better capture the complexity of fish responses to climate stressors in a more holistic way. Finally, we highlight the importance of coordinated, cross‐system research using multiple natural analogues to reveal adaptive mechanisms and strengthen predictions of fish community reorganisation under climate change.","PeriodicalId":169,"journal":{"name":"Fish and Fisheries","volume":"112 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146122171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Along with this analytical progress is evidence that many stocks lack data required for complex models, resulting in data‐limited options for estimating abundance and reference points for some species. Additionally, for even traditionally exploited species, historical data before the mid‐1900s is scarce, further limiting our understanding of long‐term population trends. To address this paucity of data and historical time series, we used a Bayesian Stochastic Stock Reduction Analysis (BSSRA) model to estimate historical population biomasses utilising historical catch, a population growth rate ( <jats:italic>r</jats:italic> ) and values of carrying capacity ( <jats:italic>K</jats:italic> ). These BSSRA historical biomass estimates are developed using available landings records for three traditionally exploited species—Atlantic cod ( <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"> <jats:italic>Gadus morhua</jats:italic> </jats:styled-content> ), Atlantic halibut ( <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"> <jats:italic>Hippoglossus hippoglossus</jats:italic> </jats:styled-content> ), and Atlantic Menhaden ( <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"> <jats:italic>Brevoortia tyrannus</jats:italic> </jats:styled-content> ). We compared the BSSRA‐derived historical biomass trends with contemporary estimates from more data‐intensive stock assessments to evaluate the performance of this data‐limited approach. To assess shifting baseline syndrome, two different baseline years were used to evaluate how perceptions of stock status change over time and what implications this has for fisheries management. BSSRA models captured similar biomass trends to those in formal stock assessments and suggest that modern reference points may underestimate historical biomass by an order of magnitude. Integrating historical data through models like BSSRA can help set more realistic and ecologically meaningful baselines, enhancing recovery goals to the benefit of ecosystem‐based fisheries management.","PeriodicalId":169,"journal":{"name":"Fish and Fisheries","volume":"253 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146101370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
