Can the delayed effects of climatic oscillations have a greater influence on global fisheries compared to their immediate effects?

Climatic oscillations affect fish population dynamics, ecological processes, and fishing operations in maritime habitats. This study examined how climatic oscillations affect catch rates for striped, blue, and silver marlins in the Atlantic Ocean. These oscillations are regarded as the primary factor influencing the abundance and accessibility of specific resources utilized by fishers.

Recent global climate change effects: A study of Eleutheronema rhadinum in Chang-Yuen Ridge, Taiwan.

This study investigated the potential effects of climatic oscillations on CPUE of Eleutheronema rhadinum (East Asian fourfinger threadfin), a commercially valuable fish species in East Asia. Fishery data from Chang-Yuen Ridge between 2015 and 2022 was analyzed in conjunction with four climatic oscillation indices that were lagged by up to 5 years. The results revealed a fluctuating CPUE associated with the 1-year-lagged Ocean Niño Index (ONI lag 1) and 1-year-lagged Southern Oscillation Index (SOI lag 1) suggesting a potential effect between climatic oscillation indices and East Asian fourfinger threadfin CPUE.

Impact of climatic oscillations on marlin catch rates of Taiwanese long-line vessels in the Indian Ocean.

This study explored the influence of climatic oscillations on the striped, blue, and silver marlin catch rates in the Indian Ocean by using logbook data from Taiwanese large-scale fishing vessels and climate records from 1994 to 2016. Only the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) and the subtropical Indian Ocean dipole (SIOD) had immediate effects on the striped and silver marlin catch rates. The positive and negative phases of the IOD at the lags of 7 and 3 years corresponded to increased and decreased catch rates, respectively, for both the striped and blue marlin, contrasting to the reverse pattern for the silver marlin.

Dataset on Cs-137 in waters surrounding Taiwan.

The Fukushima accident released short-lived Cs-134 and longer-lived Cs-137 to the ocean. The amount, although substantial, is much less than that produced during the atomic bomb tests 60 yrs ago. Cs-134 and Cs-137 are anthropogenic radionuclides and soluble in seawater; hence, the radioactivity can be used as a tracer for special events or currents.

Seasonal distribution patterns of Scomberomorus commerson in the Taiwan Strait in relation to oceanographic conditions: An ensemble modeling approach.

The decline in the stock of the narrow-barred Spanish mackerel in the Taiwan Strait has sparked interest in conservation efforts. To optimize conservation and restoration efforts, it is crucial to understand their habitat preference in response to changing environments. In this study, ensemble modeling was used to investigate the seasonal distribution patterns of Spanish mackerel.

Fishery-based adaption to climate change: the case of migratory species flathead grey mullet ( L.) in Taiwan Strait, Northwestern Pacific.

The flathead gray mullet (.) is a cosmopolitan fish that lives in warm and temperate zones over 42°N-42°S. It is a key fish species for industrial fishing off coastal Taiwan.

Ensemble modeling of black pomfret () habitat in the Taiwan Strait based on oceanographic variables.

The location, effort, number of captures, and time of fishing were all used in this study to assess the geographic distribution of in the Taiwan Strait. Other species distribution models performed worse than generalized linear models (GLMs) based on six oceanographic parameters. The sea surface temperature (SST) was between 26.

The Kuroshio radiocesium stream.

The Fukushima accident released short-lived Cs-134 and longer-lived Cs-137 to the ocean. The amount, although substantial, is much less than that produced during the atomic bomb tests 60 years ago. But, the latter has received little attention.

Radiocesium in the Taiwan Strait and the Kuroshio east of Taiwan from 2018 to 2019.

The release of anthropogenic radiocesium to the North Pacific Ocean (NPO) has occurred in the past 60 years. Factors controlling Cs (half-life, 30.2 year) and Cs (half-life, 2.

Spatiotemporal dengue fever hotspots associated with climatic factors in Taiwan including outbreak predictions based on machine-learning.

Early warning systems (EWS) have been proposed as a measure for controlling and preventing dengue fever outbreaks in countries where this infection is endemic. A vaccine is not available and has yet to reach the market due to the economic burden of development, introduction and safety concerns. Understanding how dengue spreads and identifying the risk factors will facilitate the development of a dengue EWS, for which a climate-based model is still needed.

Evaluating the accuracy of morphological identification of larval fishes by applying DNA barcoding.

Due to insufficient morphological diagnostic characters in larval fishes, it is easy to misidentify them and difficult to key to the genus or species level. The identification results from different laboratories are often inconsistent. This experiment aims to find out, by applying DNA barcoding, how inconsistent the identifications can be among larval fish taxonomists.

A case of pulmonary aspergilloma and actinomycosis.

Pulmonary aspergilloma and pulmonary actinomycosis are rare pulmonary infectious diseases. Clinical manifestations of pulmonary aspergilloma and pulmonary actinomycosis include chronic cough, fever, chest pain, haemoptysis and other pathologies, but some patients may be asymptomatic. We report a case of a healthy 33-year-old woman without any underlying diseases, who was admitted to Zhongxing Branch of Taipei City Hospital, Taiwan, for intermittent haemoptysis and right upper chest pain, which had persisted for several months.
