Fish functional diversity responses to total phosphorus in the rivers of the Baltic Sea catchment area

Environmental Pollution, Volume 372, May 2025

Māra Deksne, Peter M. van Bodegom, Laura Scherer

Eutrophication results from nutrient overload in aquatic ecosystems and affects primary productivity patterns, which impacts the living conditions of aquatic organisms. The rivers in the catchment area of the Baltic Sea are greatly affected by eutrophication, but impacts on fish functional diversity are poorly understood. This study, therefore, evaluates the effects of freshwater eutrophication on fish functional diversity in the rivers of the Baltic Sea catchment area. [...]

Identifying current trends in the environmental impacts linked to fishmeal and fish oil production in Peru

Aquaculture, Volume 600, April 2025

Alejandro Deville, Ian Vázquez-Rowe, Angel Avadí, Fernando Miranda, Ramzy Kahhat

The anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) fishery in Peru, which is almost entirely devoted to the production of fishmeal and fish oil, is one of the largest fisheries in the world. It is volatile in terms of fishing stock availability, and the fishmeal industry has been subject to technological changes to upgrade its efficiency and reduce costs to maintain its competitiveness. The objective of this study is to apply the Life Cycle Assessment methodology to the production and exportation of fishmeal and fish oil products related to a relevant producer in Peru, representing 10 % of national production. [...]
