Fishery stock assessment is the basis of fishery management. This study explored the applicability of the Length-Based Spawning Potential Ratio method (LBSPR) to assess the exploitation status of data-limited fisheries. Using data from bottom trawl surveys in Zhanjiang Bay, the study estimated the relative fishing mortality (F/M) of Johnius belangerii stock. The results showed that the average lengths at 50% and 95% selectivity (LS50 and LS95) were 105 mm and 145 mm, respectively, both of which are smaller than the lengths at 50% and 95% sexual maturity length (L50 = 125 mm and L95 = 167 mm) determined via the logistic curve. The estimated spawning potential ratio (SPR) was 0.15 significantly below the reference threshold of 0.2. The study recommended the establishment of a minimum size range (137 to 150 mm) length for harvesting Johnius belangerii to enhance their reproductive potential. It also emphasized the importance of scientific monitoring of fishery resources and the ecological environment in Zhanjiang Bay to ensure sustainable management.

Background: Sciaenidae is one of the most important coastal fisheries in Taiwan, both in production and economic value. It is also significant as the main targetted diet of Chinese white dolphins, , especially for the genus , such as , and , which is primarily found in central-western Taiwan coastal waters. Despite an abundance of species occurrences reported in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and the Taiwan Biodiversity Information Facility (TaiBIF) data portals (Mozambique, Australia, Taiwan, Korea, India, Indonesia, South Africa, Pakistan, Vietnam and China), there are no specific datasets that properly document the regional distribution of this genus, especially in Taiwanese waters.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates microplastic contamination in the gastrointestinal tracts of six commercial fish species from the Bay of Bengal, revealing the presence of 696 microplastics ranging from 0.3 to 5 mm in size.
- Planktivorous fish had the highest average occurrence of microplastics (7.7 items/individual), with specific findings showing E. thoracata contained the most per gram of GIT at 30.99 items/g, while T. ilisha had the least.
- The types of microplastics found included fibers, fragments, films, microbeads, and foams, with major polymers being polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate, highlighting a significant environmental concern that calls for stricter
This study assessed the feeding habits of four-finger threadfin fish, , and its diet relationship with other fish species in the tropics. Fish samples were collected from four locations along the coastal regions of Thailand. A whole year field sampling event was conducted to investigate the diet relationship of threadfin fish with other ten co-existing fish species in Pattani Bay during January 2021 and January 2022.
