Modelling diet composition dynamics among North Sea predatory fish using a length-structured partial ecosystem model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Multispecies fisheries management approaches must take account of the array of trophic interactions within the ecosystem. Studies of the gut contents of fish stocks in the North Sea show decadal changes in diet composition, as might be expected when the ...

How are coastal benthos fed?

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, 2017
Water movement can influence the distribution of benthos, in part, by increasing food delivery; however, the impact of advective transport and turbulent diffusion on organic matter flux to nearshore benthic communities is not well quantified.

New sponge species from Seno Magdalena, Puyuhuapi Fjord and Jacaf Canal (Chile)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy, 2020
Until now, only 177 species of sponges (Porifera) have been reported for Chilean coastal waters. Here we describe recent scuba diving surveys undertaken to improve our knowledge of the diversity of the sponge fauna of the Seno Magdalena, Puyuhuapi Fjord ...

Marine Oil Snow Sedimentation and Flocculent Accumulation (MOSSFA) Workshop [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The MOSSFA hypothesis is that the formation of marine snow/oil aggregates and its accumulation at the seafloor is related to events associated with the oil spill, various mitigation measures (e.g., the use of dispersants and in situ burning), and ...

Influence of environmental factors on the dynamics of macrobenthic crustaceans on soft-bottoms of the Ebro Delta continental shelf (northwestern Mediterranean)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2011
Short-term temporal variability in infaunal crustacean communities was evaluated against environmental variability. The area of study was located at two stations at 45 and 60 m depth under the influence of the Ebro River.

WDS-YOLO: A Marine Benthos Detection Model Fusing Wavelet Convolution and Deformable Attention

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Accurate marine benthos detection is a technical prerequisite for underwater robots to achieve automated fishing. Considering the challenges of poor underwater imaging conditions during the actual fishing process, where small objects are easily occluded ...
