On the Horizon: Better Bottom Detection for Areas of Sub-Aquatic Vegetation [PDF]

, 2011
Bottom detection methods in single beam echo sounding (SBES) are often less robust in areas with subaquatic vegetation. Due to current mapping efforts emphasizing near shore coverage for safety of navigation and the mission for alternative uses of ...

Plasticity in the reproductive biology of Yellowstone cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus virginalis bouvieri in Yellowstone Lake following lake trout Salvelinus namaycush invasion

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Yellowstone cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus virginalis bouvieri in Yellowstone Lake are the focus of intensive conservation efforts due to the threat of predation by invasive lake trout Salvelinus namaycush. Suppression gillnetting has reduced the abundance of predatory lake trout, and the Yellowstone cutthroat trout population is recovering ...

Insights into the structure of grey reef shark aggregation, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos (Bleeker, 1856), in two distinct channels of the Maldivian archipelago, Indian Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The grey reef shark Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos is one of the most frequently encountered reef‐associated shark species in the Maldives, yet very little is known about its local size structure or population dynamics. This study provides new insights into two aggregations of C.

Contrasting life‐history strategies of three sympatric icefish species in the northern Scotia Sea

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Comprehending a species' life‐history strategies is crucial to inform effective conservation efforts. Commercial fishing impacts icefish (family: Channichthyidae) in the Scotia Sea, but detailed information on species‐specific life histories remains largely unknown.

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) kelt rheotaxis and position choice are influenced by flow velocity and turbulence in a regulated river

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The migratory behaviour of Atlantic salmon kelts is poorly understood. Due to the Atlantic salmon's considerable socio‐economic and ecological importance, their precipitous population abundance declines, and the population resilience potential of salmon kelts, addressing these knowledge gaps is important.

Distribution and ecology of the four Macrourus species by‐caught in the longline fishery at South Georgia, Southern Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although Macrourus species are the main by‐catch across Southern Ocean longline fisheries, including around South Georgia, the lack of species‐specific data has hindered effective management and ecological understanding. Aggregation of macrourids at genus level masks critical interspecific differences in life‐history strategies and ...

Subtropical marine reserve as key habitats for the critically endangered sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus) in the Southwestern Atlantic

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study documents the occurrence, seasonal patterns and reproductive activity of the sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus) within a no‐take marine protected area in southeastern Brazil, using Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) and diving records.

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Filter feeders living on suspension feeders: New insights into the lifestyle and distribution of Arcturidae Dana, 1849 (Crustacea: Isopoda) around Iceland

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract The focus of the present study was on arcturid isopods occurring in the subarctic region around Iceland. Data from two decades of sampling with an epibenthic sledge (EBS) during numerous expeditions of the BIOICE (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic Waters; 1992–2004) and IceAGE (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology; 2011—ongoing ...
