Geographical distribution of freshwater fishes in Saudi Arabia (2024)
Journal Article
Alharthi, I. G., Cowx, I. G., & Harvey, J. P. (2024). Geographical distribution of freshwater fishes in Saudi Arabia. PLoS ONE, 19(12 December), Article e0311743. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0311743

Species presence/absence data in different water bodies in different regions of Saudi Arabia were collated from the literature and collected from field surveys to determine the geographical distribution of fish species in the country. Freshwater fish... Read More about Geographical distribution of freshwater fishes in Saudi Arabia.

Two decades of body length measurements of larval and juvenile fish populations in English rivers (2024)
Journal Article
Ainsworth, R. F., Vickers, L. H., Bolland, J. D., Taylor, M. J., Harvey, J. P., Noble, R. A., Cowx, I. G., & Nunn, A. D. (2024). Two decades of body length measurements of larval and juvenile fish populations in English rivers. Scientific Data, 11, Article 1271. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-024-04127-w

Long-term datasets provide context and understanding of complex ecological processes, including temporal variations in species diversity and ecosystem dynamics. This dataset is comprised of body length measurements (mm) of more than 380,000 larval or...

Diverse migration strategies of ariid catfishes along a salinity gradient in the Mekong River (2024)
Journal Article
Vu, A. V., Baumgartner, L. J., Limburg, K. E., Gillanders, B. M., Mallen-Cooper, M., Howitt, J. A., Thiem, J. D., Doran, G. S., Kewish, C. M., & Cowx, I. G. (2024). Diverse migration strategies of ariid catfishes along a salinity gradient in the Mekong River. Fisheries research, 279, Article 107133. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fishres.2024.107133

Ariid catfishes (Ariidae family) are important migratory fish species in the Mekong River, with some species representing a major harvest component from the river. Limited biological information exists, and in particular their migration patterns are...

Inland recreational fisheries contribute nutritional benefits and economic value but are vulnerable to climate change (2024)
Journal Article
Lynch, A. J., Embke, H. S., Nyboer, E. A., Wood, L. E., Thorpe, A., Phang, S. C., Viana, D. F., Golden, C. D., Milardi, M., Arlinghaus, R., Baigun, C., Beard, T. D., Cooke, S. J., Cowx, I. G., Koehn, J. D., Lyach, R., Potts, W., Robertson, A. M., Schmidhuber, J., & Weyl, O. L. (2024). Inland recreational fisheries contribute nutritional benefits and economic value but are vulnerable to climate change. Nature Food, 5, 433-443. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43016-024-00961-8

Inland recreational fishing is primarily considered a leisure-driven activity in freshwaters, yet its harvest can contribute to food systems. Here we estimate that the harvest from inland recreational fishing equates to just over one-tenth of all rep...

Understanding the Threats to Fish Migration: Applying the Global Swimways Concept to the Lower Mekong (2024)
Journal Article
Cowx, I. G., Vu, A. V., Hogan, Z., Mallen-Cooper, M., Baumgartner, L. J., Lai, T. Q., Grill, G., & Sayer, C. A. (2024). Understanding the Threats to Fish Migration: Applying the Global Swimways Concept to the Lower Mekong. Reviews in Fisheries Science & Aquaculture, https://doi.org/10.1080/23308249.2024.2401018

The Mekong River basin is a biodiversity hotspot and supports the largest inland capture fishery globally. The fish and fisheries, especially migratory species that underpin the capture fisheries, are, however, under threat from multiple pressures, n...
