Abstract The widespread adoption of acoustic telemetry has transformed our understanding marine species' behavior and movement ecology. However, accurately interpreting data, especially concerning tagging mortality, is essential for drawing valid conclusions. In this study, we scrutinized mortality in 223 individuals across 14 species evaluated the impact methodologies, including capture method size effects. Results reveal high survival rates overall, attributable to resiliency studied...
With the global increase of marine protected area (MPA) implementation, need for monitoring and evaluation their effectiveness becomes ever more important. Currently there is a severe lack information about protection effects soft-substrate ecosystems. While many different methods have been established hard-substrate ecosystems, most these minimally invasive prove ineffective soft- bottom habitats. Information quantification impact needed to provide decision makers with necessary knowledge...
Abstract The implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs) has been widely used as a tool to manage and conserve resources services. Yet, date, the reserve effect is still weakly evaluated, particularly for soft‐sediment habitats. Arrábida MPA, considered biodiversity hotspot, was fully established in 2009 on west coast Portugal characterized by large expanses This MPA protect ensure livelihood local small‐scale fisheries community. Beyond before–after‐control–impact (BACI) analyses were...
Abstract Understanding the spawning behavior of meagre ( Argyrosomus regius ) is crucial for fisheries management and conservation. Meagre forms large aggregations in estuaries, yet details its grounds remain elusive. We tagged 41 individuals monitored their movements throughout several seasons. Detections inside estuaries were limited. Fish detected Tejo estuary during season performed regular toward coastal areas, suggesting potential outside estuaries. Our findings underscore significance...
