A Census of Marine Biodiversity Knowledge, Resources, and Future Challenges (2010, background): “The use of molecular techniques complements traditional methods of describing species but has not significantly increased the rate of discovery of new species (at least of fish), although it may help classify them [4].”
Coherent assessments of Europe’s marine fishes show regional divergence and megafauna loss (2017, methodology): “These reference points, based on the theory of MSY48, were: (1) fishing mortality at MSY (FMSY, the exploitation rate that is consistent with achieving MSY); and (2) the spawning stock biomass (SSB) that triggers a cautious response (MSY Btrigger, the SSB that triggers advice to reduce exploitation ”
An updated checklist of the marine fishes of Turkey (2014, background): “According to the most comprehensive account, the number of valid marine fish species described to date is approximately 17,000, which is likely to increase at least by 30% within the next 4 decades (Eschmeyer et al., 2010).”
On the origin of endemic species in the Red Sea (2016, background): “The level of endemism among shore fish in the Red Sea exceeds those of all other localised hotspots identified in the Indian Ocean, including the Mascarene Islands (3.4%; Fricke, 1999; Eschmeyer et al., 2010), the Arabian Gulf (4.”
A review of contemporary patterns of endemism for shallow water reef fauna in the Red Sea (2016, unknown): “By comparison, Eschmeyer et al. (2010) recorded 1188 Red Sea fish species, including 159 endemics, resulting in a comparable endemism rate of 13.6%.”
Fish biodiversity and conservation in South America. (2016, background): “This example only highlights the potential for new discoveries in the deep-sea environments of South America, and is in agreement with the Eschmeyer et al. (2010) guess that most of the presumably 800 deep-sea species awaiting formal description must live in poorly explored areas such as the ones…”
