New research offers the first hope of identifying migration and feeding patterns to reduce their unnecessary slaughter by long-line fisheries. The study is reported in the journal Science, and outlines, for the first time, the year-round habitat of the grey-headed albatross. view more (2005-01-11)

Polarstern's biggest fish catch in 24 years of research in Antarctic waters
Five tons of marbled Antarctic cod (Notothenia rossii), now that was surely a big surprise to scientists and crew on board of Polarstern, alike considering that previous and subsequent hauls barely ever reaped such plentiful harvests. view more (2006-12-27)
Climate change causing significant shift in composition of coastal fish communities
A detailed analysis of data from nearly 50 years of weekly fish-trawl surveys in Narragansett Bay and adjacent Rhode Island Sound has revealed a long-term shift in species composition, which scientists attribute primarily to the effects of global warming. view more (2008-06-30)
Scientists to hand "crisis-hit" European fisheries a lifeline
Scientists from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne are leading an international programme aimed at handing European fisheries a lifeline. The University has just signed a Euro 1.5m. contract with the European Union for the development of a fisheries management framework that includes consideration of the wider ecosystem. It will also involve... view more... (2001-11-26)
The fragility of the world's coral is revealed through a study of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
A new study by researchers from UC Santa Barbara's National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) sheds light on how threats to the world's endangered coral reef ecosystems can be more effectively managed. view more (2009-04-07)
Human impacts and environmental factors are changing the northwest Atlantic ecosystem
Fish in U.S. waters from Cape Hatteras to the Canadian border have moved away from their traditional, long-time habitats over the past four decades because of fundamental changes in the regional ecosystem. view more (2009-09-01)
Seamounts Of The South-west Pacific : Exceptional Biodiversity And Endemism
Seamounts are exceptionally rich environments biologically which have been little studied in any detail. Research on about 20 such undersea mountains in the South-West Pacific has recently revealed that the diversity and endemism among faunal communities living on these biotopes are much greater than had hitherto been assumed. Over 850 species... view more... (2000-09-14)
Extraordinary life found around deep-sea gas seeps

Workers in the entertainment sector five times as likely to have occupational asthma
People working in the entertainment sector run five times the risk of workplace asthma, reveals research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. US researchers analysed responses to a nationwide survey on health and nutrition, conducted between 1988 and 1994 (NHANES III).
