Anthropogenic carbon and water masses in the Bay of Biscay

Ciencias Marinas, 2011
As part of the VACLAN (Climate Variability in the North Atlantic) project, a section covering the Bay of Biscay was sampled in September 2005. This work estimates the distribution of the different water masses in the region using an extended optimum ...

Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

Freshwater from the Bay of Biscay shelves in 2009

Journal of Marine Systems, 2013
This work is largely indebted to the EPIGRAM project supported by LEFE (INSU) and ANR, and the considerable and valuable in situ and operational modelling work done by so many French and Spanish institutions (IFREMER (cruises, in situ instrumentation, operation modelling), SHOM (cruises, instrumental modelling), INSU (cruises), DT-INSU (glider ...

Bluefin Tuna Fishing in the Bay of Biscay [PDF]

, 2019
The traditional fishing method for catching bluefin tuna in the Bay of Biscay used to be trolling, but in 1949 rod and live bait (bait boat) was introduced, which meant a great leap forward in the catches of this species. The different phases of fishing with this new system are briefly described as well how the fleet developed from the middle of the ...

Genomic analysis of NE Atlantic sardine (Sardina pilchardus) reveals reduced variation in a recently established North Sea population and directs reconsideration of management units

Ecology and Evolution
The European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) is under intense fishing pressure and exhibits distributional/abundance shifts linked to environmental change.

Litter Windrows in the South-East Coast of the Bay of Biscay: An Ocean Process Enabling Effective Active Fishing for Litter

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Large scale convergence regions of floating marine litter are commonly observed in semi-enclosed seas as the Bay of Biscay. However, clean-up activities on such accumulation regions are limited by the spread of the large-size floating litter on the sea ...

NEMO on the shelf: assessment of the Iberia–Biscay–Ireland configuration [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2013
This work describes the design and validation of a high-resolution (1/36°) ocean forecasting model over the "Iberian–Biscay–Irish" (IBI) area. The system has been set-up using the NEMO model (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean). New developments

Variability in Fecundity–Body Size Relationships for Atlantic Salmon Associated With Body Condition and Life History

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While body size is the primary driver of fecundity, other factors may contribute to variation in these relationships. Anadromous populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) have diverse life histories, and fisheries management relies on accurate fecundity estimates.

Genes, fish and fisheries: translating science into policy

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2024 Annual Symposium of the Fisheries Society of the British Isles reviewed the burgeoning impact of ‘omics’ technologies on fish ecology, management and forecasting. As with life sciences more generally, major advances in speed, cost‐effectiveness and breadth of applications in ‘omics’ has had profound societal and environmental impacts.

Deep-Sea Ophiuroids (Echinodermata; Ophiuroidea) from the Avilés Canyon System: Seven New Records for the Spanish North Atlantic Marine Subdivision

Diversity
The Avilés Canyon System (ACS) is located in the southern Bay of Biscay (northern Spain, Cantabrian Sea). It has been declared a Site of Community Importance (SCI: C ESZZ12003) within the Natura 2000 Network and recognized as a Vulnerable Marine ...
