Impacts of hook anatomical location and the use of de-hooker devices on survival and reflex impairment of bogue (Boops boops), in Catch-and-Release fishing

Catch-and-Release (C&R) is a widespread practice in recreational fisheries in which fish are released alive after capture. Its effectiveness, however, depends on maintaining high post-release survival to ensure management and conservation benefits. This study evaluated post-relea...

Mobile genetic elements as strain-specific markers: a case study in Shewanella sp. Pdp11

Abstract Strain-level identification is a key challenge in microbiology, particularly for monitoring microorganisms of interest such as probiotics. Traditional methods based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing often lack the resolution to discriminate closely related strains. This study...
