Sharks and rays can get entangled in abandoned fishing gear, leading to injuries or death.

Canadian officials are investigating the deaths and implementing regulations to reduce the number of ships that strike the endangered species or snag them in fishing gear.

A study of 686 fish and invertebrates predicts that some animals will have to shift more than 1,000 kilometers to stay within tolerable temperatures.

Trained spotters haven’t seen any newborns, suggesting trouble for the animal’s overall survival.

The variation may help explain why stocked salmon don’t fare as well in the ocean.

A proposal to do so would cause waste, promote less sustainable fisheries, and penalize US fishers who follow best practices.
