Abstract The common dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) is an epipelagic thermophilic species with a worldwide distribution in tropical and subtropical regions that is characterized by its migratory behavior and fast growth rates. This species is targeted by artisanal small-scale and recreational fisheries in most regions where it is found. This paper updates and analyzes the global scientific knowledge on the biology and ecology of this species, which was last revised at a regional level 20 years ago. This review showed an increase in knowledge about the population structure and regional differences in biological traits, in parallel with a notable lack of mechanistic and even empirical knowledge about the ecology of this species, which hampers a good understanding of the population dynamics and the potential impacts of environmental change. This paper also updates the information about the Mediterranean dolphinfish fishery, where the main four countries that exploit this species deploy 30% of fish aggregation devices (FAD) worldwide. The results suggest, among other effects, some temporal synchronicity in landings across countries, potential interannual stock movement affecting inter-country catches, diverging trends in prices and insufficient quality in the estimates of fishing effort. The authors propose a suite of specific measures to ameliorate this lack of knowledge and to better manage this complex living resource.

地中海海豚鱼（Coryphaena hippurus）生物学及其渔业全球回顾：过去两年的进展

摘要 海豚鱼（Coryphaena hippurus）是一种上层嗜热物种，在全球范围内分布于热带和亚热带地区，具有洄游行为和快速生长的特点。在发现它的大多数地区，该物种是手工小规模和休闲渔业的目标。本文更新和分析了该物种的生物学和生态学的全球科学知识，该知识于 20 年前在区域层面进行了最新修订。这篇综述表明，人们对种群结构和生物特征的区域差异的了解有所增加，同时显着缺乏关于该物种生态的机械知识甚至经验知识，这阻碍了对种群动态和潜在影响的良好理解。的环境变化。本文还更新了有关地中海海豚渔业的信息，主要开发该物种的四个国家在全球部署了 30% 的鱼类聚集设备 (FAD)。结果表明，除其他影响外，各国上岸量的一些时间同步性、影响国家间捕捞量的潜在年度间种群流动、价格趋势不同以及捕捞努力量估计的质量不足。作者提出了一套具体措施来改善这种知识的缺乏并更好地管理这种复杂的生物资源。各国上岸量的一些时间同步性、影响国家间捕获量的潜在年度间种群流动、价格趋势不同以及捕捞努力量估计的质量不足。作者提出了一套具体措施来改善这种知识的缺乏并更好地管理这种复杂的生物资源。各国上岸量的一些时间同步性、影响国家间捕获量的潜在年度间种群流动、价格趋势不同以及捕捞努力量估计的质量不足。作者提出了一套具体措施来改善这种知识的缺乏并更好地管理这种复杂的生物资源。
