Abstract Understanding how energy is transferred within and across ecosystems is essential to better understand drivers and future consequences of shifts in energy pathways. We used stable isotope ratios of 1932 fish individuals belonging to the 11 most abundant fish species collected across 300,000 km2 along the English Channel–Celtic Sea continuum ...

Fish aggregations at oil and gas platform foundations in the North Sea
Abstract Globally, aging offshore oil and gas (O&G) platforms face resource depletion, and regulations often demand platform removal through decommissioning. In the North Sea, >€90 billion will be needed for decommissioning by 2060. However, the influence of O&G platforms on fish communities is poorly understood. This challenges predictions of possible

Prime valutazioni degli effetti della protezione sull’ittiofauna di fondo roccioso nella costa occidentale dell’Isola dell’Asinara = Preliminary evaluation of the effects of protection on rocky fish assemblages in the Western coast of Asinara Island [PDF]
Coastal fish fauna from a recently established Mediterranean MPA and from an adjacent nonprotected zone near its boundary were compared to evaluate the effects of protection.

Offshore windfarms are marine areas that are difficult to access, and innovative monitoring techniques are needed to study their impact on marine biodiversity. Water sampling and trawl catches conducted in parallel in 30 sites in the Belgian part of the North Sea showed that 12S eDNA metabarcoding retrieved 85.7% of the fish species caught in the beam ...

Changes in the structure and functionof the North Sea fish foodweb, 1973-2000, and the impacts of fishing and climate [PDF]
North Sea environmental and biological data were analysed to examine 30-year changes in production and consumption in the fish food web. The analysis revealed that the demand for secondary production placed on the ecosystem by fish declined from ...

We assess the utility of combining citizen science with environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding for characterizing and quantifying marine fish biodiversity. Our findings hold promise for advancing marine conservation efforts by providing valuable data to inform critical decision‐making processes.

Northeast Atlantic species distribution shifts over the last two decades
We explored marine species distribution shifts in the Celtic‐Biscay Shelf and then quantified the relative importance of two main ecological processes explaining species distribution shifts: (1) modifications in habitat suitability due to climate change and/or (2) variation in population size due to density‐dependent processes and fishing exploitation.
