Vertical diel dynamic of fish assemblage associated with an artificial reef (Northern Adriatic Sea)
The vertical diel activity of a fish assemblage inhabiting the Senigallia artificial reef (northern Adriatic Sea, Italy) was evaluated from July to November 1996 using enhanced hydroacoustic techniques. Extensive seabed mapping of the area was done using

Spatial Distribution and Abundance of Mesopelagic Fish Biomass in the Mediterranean Sea
Mesopelagic fish, being in the middle of the trophic web, are important key species for the marine environment; yet limited knowledge exists about their biology and abundance.

Spatially explicit information on coral fish species abundance and distribution is required for effective management. Nonextractive techniques, including echosounders and video census, can be particularly useful in marine reserves where the use of ...

The importance of habitat quality for marine reserve fishery linkages [PDF]
We model marine reserve - fishery linkages to evaluate the potential contribution of habitat-quality improvements inside a marine reserve to fish productivity and fishery catches.

Feeding Nile tilapia with artificial diets and dried bioflocs biomass
The effects of supplying dried bioflocs biomass to Nile tilapia juveniles were investigated in the present work. Fish were stocked in experimental rearing tanks for eight weeks. Selected variables of water quality, growth performance and effluent quality

Land use, associated eel production, and abundance of fish and crayfish in streams in Waikato, New Zealand [PDF]
The density and biomass of fish and crayfish, and the production of eels, was compared among streams in native forest, exotic forest, and pasture. Populations were estimated by multiple-pass electroshocking at 11 sites in hill-country streams in the ...

Biomass spectra in benthic fish assemblages in the Benguela System [PDF]
6 páginas, 1 figura, 2 tablas. Biomass spectra in the different benthic fish assemblages at depths between 100 and 800 m off the coast of Namibia were studied over a period of 3 yr These assemblages were located in areas spanning active upwelling centres on the shelf and zones of lower productivity on the lower slope.

Alien Marine Fishes Deplete Algal Biomass in the Eastern Mediterranean
One of the most degraded states of the Mediterranean rocky infralittoral ecosystem is a barren composed solely of bare rock and patches of crustose coralline algae. Barrens are typically created by the grazing action of large sea urchin populations. In 2008 we observed extensive areas almost devoid of erect algae, where sea urchins were rare, on the ...

Dominance determines fish community biomass in a temperate seagrass ecosystem [PDF]
AbstractBiodiversity and ecosystem function are often correlated, but there are multiple hypotheses about the mechanisms underlying this relationship. Ecosystem functions such as primary or secondary production may be maximized by species richness, evenness in species abundances, or the presence or dominance of species with certain traits.
