前報に引き続いて、Angeloさんの学位論文の一部です。カニ籠漁業の効率化を図るため、フィリピンで餌料や操業水深の影響を調べる調査を実施しました。実は広島でも同様の調査を実施しようとしたのですが、カニ籠で全くカニ類を採集できず、日本での実施を断念した、という経緯がありました。この調査はAngeloさんが調査の設計からとりまとめまですべて自分で実施し、論文原稿を2025年4月にとりまとめました。私とのやりとり後、7月にFisheries Management and Ecologyに投稿しましたが、査読に回らずリジェクトされました。そこでこちらも8月にAquaculture, Fish and Fisheriesに投稿し、9月にMinor revisionの審査結果が来ました。10月に改訂原稿を投稿し、上述の飼育実験論文と同じ日に受理されました。全く異なる論文が同じ日に受理されて驚きました。ただしゲラ校正は少し遅く、11月下旬にオンライン掲載されました。

As part of Angelo's dissertation, another study was conducted in the Philippines to examine the effects of bait type, bait amount, and fishing depth on the efficiency of crab pot fisheries. Initially, we planned to carry out a similar survey in Hiroshima, but the attempt was abandoned because no crabs were caught in the pots during preliminary trials. Angelo independently designed, executed, and compiled the survey results, and completed the manuscript draft in April 2025. The paper was submitted to Fisheries Management and Ecology in July, but it was rejected without review. He then submitted it to Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries in August, and in September received a decision of minor revision. The revised manuscript was submitted in October and was accepted on the same day as the paper on the rearing experiment mentioned above. It was quite surprising that two completely different papers were accepted on the same day. This paper was published in November, but it was later than the publication of the rearing experiment paper.
