Gill surface area correlates with the Climate Vulnerability Index of fishes

McElhinney JL, van Elden S, Zeller D, Meeuwig JJ (2026)

Comparative physiology across teleosts and elasmobranchs; modest association between standardised gill surface area and climate vulnerability; haemoglobin sequence–based analyses in context.

Fishing-induced declines in fish size are exacerbated by gill surface area limitations

McElhinney JL, van Elden S, Zeller D, Meeuwig JJ (2026)

Western Australian recreational fisheries records (1965–2019); among declining taxa, fishing vulnerability and standardised gill surface area as joint correlates of size-decline rate.

Temperature, body size, and respiratory traits in global BRUVS fish assemblages

McElhinney JL, van Elden S, Zeller D, Meeuwig JJ (2026)

Global stereo-BRUVS surveys; length–sea-surface-temperature associations; ectotherm–endotherm contrasts and standardised gill surface area — with explicit treatment of survey and trait-data limitations.
