TL;DR: The dynamics of oocyte maturation is typified by seven bootstrapped oocyte distributions that represent the maturation process, and aids in the identification of ovaries with hydrated oocytes that have not spawned.

TL;DR: The utility of 2b-RAD genotyping technique for investigating population genetic diversity and differentiation in high gene-flow species is demonstrated for the first time and results showed the efficiency of this genotypesing technique in assessing genetic divergence in a marine fish with high dispersal potential.

TL;DR: It is shown that roundscale spearfish currently constitute a substantial proportion of the overall 'white marlin' catch in the western North Atlantic, with high spatial variation within this region, and the accuracy of current biological knowledge on white marlin is compromised by 'contamination' due to misidentification.

TL;DR: This article conducted a literature review of 390 studies to assess how fisheries characteristics affected management tool performance across both small-scale and large-scale fisheries, and found that the most commonly used management tool in a region was often the most successful, although the scale of success varied.
