Comparing reef structure and mobile species assemblages at remnant and restored mussel reefs
Mussel restoration aims to replicate natural processes of reef establishment. The similarities in mussel reef structure and large mobile species communities observed between remnant and restored mussel reefs in this study provide evidence that, in the absence of intact systems, remnant mussel reefs adjacent to temperate rocky reefs may be suitable as ...

Trophic model of the coastal fisheries ecosystem of the southwest coast of India [PDF]
The Ecopath approach and software were used to construct a trophic model of the coastal fisheries ecosystem of the southwest (SW) coast of India. The model consisted of 11 ecological groups and used estimated landings from all areas along the southwest ...

Increase in Harp Seal Ecosystem Role After the Cod Collapse in Newfoundland & Labrador
ABSTRACT Pinniped populations have been increasing worldwide, posing challenges for fisheries management, including damage to fishing gear and competition for resources. In the Northwest Atlantic, harp seal numbers have increased from 1.8 million in 1970 to 6.5 million in 1990, stabilising at 4.4 million in 2024—one of the largest pinniped populations ...
