First time ever that cryptic species in seagrasses were identified going full population genomics in NW Pacific Nanozostera japonica. In a secondary contact zone, triploid F1 hybrids were found among the two putative species, but no higher order hybrids, suggesting genomic incompatibility

The way forward: we suggest a truly independent institution like the European Central Bank that determines non-negotiable quotas. Great team work of #Kiel scientists led by Rainer Froese @geomarkiel.bsky.social

Total catches in western #Baltic Sea crashed 2002 -2022. Note that under an ecosystem-based management (EBFM), catches could be much higher. Much lower catches are currently not sustainable because stock sizes of cod, herring and sprat were depleted by ongoing overfishing.
