Invasive alien species are a major worldwide driver of biodiversity change. The current study lists verified records non-indigenous (NIS) in European marine waters until 2020, with the purpose establishing baseline, assessing trends, and discussing appropriate threshold values for good environmental status (GES) according to relevant legislation. All NIS were by national experts trends presented six-year assessment periods from 1970 2020 Union Marine Strategy Framework Directive. Altogether,...
Abstract The shortfin mako shark is a large‐bodied pursuit predator thought to be capable of the highest swimming speeds any elasmobranch and potentially one energetic demands marine fish. Nonetheless, few direct speed measurements have been reported for this species. Here, animal‐borne bio‐loggers attached two sharks were used provide speeds, kinematics thermal physiology. Mean sustained (cruising) was 0.90 m s −1 (±0.07 s.d. ) with mean tail‐beat frequency (TBF) 0.51 Hz (±0.16 ). maximum...
