Primary Productivity and Habitat Depth Shape Developmental Mode in European Marine Gastropods. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Thorson's rule suggests that marine gastropods in colder, high‐latitude regions tend to have non‐pelagic (non‐drifting) larval development. However, this study on 94 European gastropod species found that the rule disappears when examined at finer spatial scales, with temperature and phylogeny having little influence.

Genetic Stock Identification Reveals Mismatches Between Management Areas and Population Genetic Structure in a Migratory Pelagic Fish. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Sustainable fisheries management is important for the continued harvest of the world's marine resources, especially as they are increasingly challenged by a range of climatic and anthropogenic factors. One of the pillars of sustainable fisheries management is the accurate identification of the biological units, i.e., populations.

Emaciated enigma: Decline in body conditions of common dolphins in the Celtic Seas ecoregion. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The nutritional health of stranded common dolphins in the Celtic Seas ecoregion has recently declined, as evidenced by a decrease in nutritional status and an increase in starvation‐related deaths. Ventral blubber thickness was identified as the most reliable predictor of nutritional status when comparing various morphometric indices using ordinal ...

Where Are You From? Finding the Origin of the Recently Observed Sprat in Iceland Using a Panel of SNPs [PDF]

Ecol Evol
European sprat can be divided into distinct genetic groups in the NE Atlantic, that is, Norwegian fjords, Baltic Sea and an oceanic component. The species has been increasingly reported in Icelandic waters since 2017. To investigate the source of introduction, Icelandic sprat has been genotyped and analyzed in comparison with existing reference data ...

Grey seal predation mortality on three depleted stocks in the West of Scotland : what are the implications for stock assessments? [PDF]

, 2017
The decrease in groundfish stocks in the North Atlantic since the mid-1900s coupled with increases in grey seal populations is responsible for an enduring controversy between fishers and conservationists regarding the role seals have played in stock ...

Assessing the Progress of Stock Rebuilding in the Northeast Atlantic Against Levels That Can Produce Maximum Sustainable Yield

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 519-536, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Rebuilding fish stocks to levels above which they produce Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) is a management aim for all European commercially exploited stocks. Progress is typically monitored against the fishing mortality that produces MSY in the long term (FMSY), however, the corresponding biomass target (BMSY) is rarely evaluated nor reported.

Finding bridges between biodiversity research and ecosystem–based management [PDF]

, 2015
Today, it appears safe to say that in principle we know enough to improve management actions, but that existing and new knowledge is not applied to the extent needed.

Ecological commonalities among pelagic fishes: comparison of freshwater ciscoes and marine herring and sprat [PDF]

, 2012
Systematic comparisons of the ecology between functionally similar fish species from freshwater and marine aquatic systems are surprisingly rare. Here, we discuss commonalities and differences in evolutionary history, population genetics, reproduction ...

Regionalization of European Habitat Classification (EUNIS) for Effective Ecosystem Assessment

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
The study presents a regionalization framework for EUNIS habitat classification. We relied on European concepts to define 99 regional ecologically meaningful habitats that were strongly linked to environmental drivers and legal conservation categories.

Status and rebuilding of European fisheries [PDF]

, 2018
Since January 2014, the reformed Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) of the European Union is legally binding for all Member States. It prescribes the end of overfishing and the rebuilding of all stocks above levels that can produce maximum sustainable yields (
