The role of prey composition for the condition of grey gurnard (Eutrigla gurnardus)
, 2010 Summary During a fisheries research cruise on the Dogger Bank in the central North Sea, we studied the role of diet for the condition of grey gurnard (Eutrigla gurnardus). Seventeen stations across the Dogger Bank were sampled with the GOV otter trawl

Comparison of visual and molecular taxonomic methods to identify ichthyoplankton in the North Sea
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 18, Issue 10, Page 599-605, October 2020., 2020 Abstract The North Sea is an important spawning and nursery ground for many demersal and pelagic fishes whose spawning areas are largely overlapping in time and space. This makes ichthyoplankton visual identification from the various species particularly challenging.

Inventory and comparison of abundance of parasitic copepods on fish hosts in the western Wadden Sea (North Sea) between 1968 and 2010 [PDF]
A conspicuous part of the parasite fauna of marine fish are ectoparasites, which attach mainly to the fins or gills. The abundant copepods have received much interest due to their negative effects on hosts.

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.In this study, we investigated the temporal and spatial patterns of fish communities within the 12 nautical miles limit of the Belgian part of the North Sea (BPNS) using eDNA 12S metabarcoding. Our findings revealed that while there are no temporal changes at the community level, species‐specific eDNA signals align with the species known biology in the

Hatching Strategies in Monogenean (Platyhelminth) Parasites that Facilitate Host Infection [PDF]
, 2011 In parasites, environmental cues may influence hatching of eggs and enhance the success of infections. The two major endoparasitic groups of parasitic platyhelminths, cestodes (tapeworms) and digeneans (flukes), typically have high fecundity, infect more
