Tlusty's prolific publication record features recent contributions such as "The magnitude of legal wildlife trade and implications for species survival," co-authored with B. Michael Marshall et al., in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences U.S.A. (2025); "Species-level, digitized wildlife trade data is essential for achieving biodiversity targets" in PNAS (2024); "Compliance and enforcement in a brave new (green) world: best practices and technologies for green governance" in FACETS (2024); "Real-time automated species level detection of trade document systems to reduce illegal wildlife trade and improve data quality" in Biological Conservation (2023); "Reframing the sustainable seafood narrative" in Global Environmental Change (2020); and "Animal health: the foundation for aquaculture sustainability" (2020). Earlier seminal works include "The benefits and risks of aquacultural production for the aquarium trade" (Aquaculture, 2002), "Revealing the appetite of the marine aquarium fish trade: the volume and biodiversity of fish imported into the United States" (PLoS ONE, 2012), "The rise of aquaculture by-products: Increasing food production, value, and sustainability through strategic utilisation" (Marine Policy, 2018), "Emerging COVID-19 impacts, responses, and lessons for building resilience in the seafood system" (Global Food Security, 2021), and "When pets become pests: the role of the exotic pet trade in producing invasive vertebrate animals" (Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2019). These publications underscore his influence in sustainable aquaculture, seafood systems, and wildlife trade conservation.
