Short‐term performance responses of an intertidal fish to sedimentation and warming

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is altering coastal ecosystems by causing environmental fluctuations, such as increases in temperature and turbidity, which pose major implications for fish physiology and behaviour. Increases in temperature affect fish food intake, swimming capacity and oxygen delivery, while increases in turbidity can impair or enhance prey ...

Modified fin morphology in mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) may indicate nesting behaviour

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring reproductive traits in Southern Ocean species is challenging. Males in some channichthyids thicken the epithelium along their anal fins to aid nest construction. This study presents initial evidence that the only commercially harvested channichthyid, mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari), exhibits modifications to their anal ...

Temperature, but not acidification, influences the growth and lipid profile of juvenile sand whiting, Sillago ciliata (Cuvier 1829)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Seafood provides an essential source of macro‐ and micronutrients for coastal communities worldwide. Climate change is a key threat to seafood security, altering the sizes, abundances, distributions, physiology and ecological interactions of fisheries species, and increasingly, there is evidence of impacts to seafood nutritional quality.

Size‐, sex‐ and site‐dependent morphological variation in the stone flounder (Kareius bicoloratus) from Korean coastal waters

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Kareius bicoloratus is a commercially important flatfish in Korean coastal fisheries and an ecologically relevant benthic species in nearshore ecosystems. To evaluate how multiple biological and environmental factors jointly shape flatfish morphology, we analysed 81 morphometric indices and two‐dimensional geometric morphometrics (GMM) in wild

Take my breath away: Defining the oxygen saturation threshold for fish cortisol stress response

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human activities are affecting the number, size and severity of hypoxic zones in aquatic ecosystems. As oxygen is one of the most important abiotic factors affecting fish biology, exposure to low levels of dissolved oxygen may lead to a reduction in fitness.

Climate change impacts on fish in the Baltic Sea

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Baltic Sea is a marginal sea with strong abiotic gradients harbouring fish of both marine and freshwater origin. Here we review the empirical evidence for how changes in climate variables have impacted different fish and fish communities in the Baltic Sea.

Biofluorescence in polar zoarcid eelpouts: The Arctic eelpout Lycodes reticulatus (Reinhardt, 1835) and the Antarctic eelpout Pachycara brachycephalum (Pappenheim, 1912)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biofluorescence is widespread among marine fish but remains poorly documented in polar ecosystems. Using hyperspectral imaging, we report fluorescent emissions in two polar zoarcid eelpouts. A captive Antarctic eelpout (Pachycara brachycephalum) displayed uniform bright green fluorescence (~500–520 nm), whereas an Arctic eelpout (Lycodes ...

THE INFLUENCE OF FISHING ON DEMERSAL FISH POPULATIONS – TWO CASE STUDIES

open access: yesCroatian Journal of Fisheries, 2012
This paper shows the trends in fish populations from demersal systems in two areas. The contrast between the Georges Bank/Gulf of Maine area and the North Sea illustrates how similar systems can respond differently.

Maternal effects on recruitment of five gadoid species

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Commercial fishing is almost always non‐random and generally removes large and old individuals from fish stocks, thereby reducing age diversity among spawners. Reduced age diversity may result in less stable recruitment. Here, we explore the influence of age diversity (H), mean age of the spawning stock (MA) and sea surface temperature (SST ...
