Maternal effects on recruitment of five gadoid species
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 ...

Measuring juvenile habitat quality for fishes and invertebrates
ABSTRACT Identifying the role of marine and estuarine habitats in supporting fish and invertebrate populations during vulnerable juvenile life stages is essential to achieve effective conservation and fisheries management. There remains general agreement that: (i) the quality of juvenile habitat is best measured as the contribution of juveniles to ...

SEM evidence for existence of an apical disc on the scolex of Clestobothrium crassiceps (Rudolphi, 1819): comparative results of various fixation techniques [PDF]
The scolex of the bothriocephalidean cestode Clestobothrium crassiceps was studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The comparative results of various fixation procedures and techniques are presented. The scolex of C. crassiceps is oval to

Performance of eDNA Filtration Methods for Monitoring Fish Diversity in a Hyper‐Tidal Estuary
This study evaluates four eDNA filtering methods, three manual filters (0.45, 1.2, and 5 μm) and a passive method, the metaprobe, across a salinity gradient in a hyper‐tidal estuarine ecosystem. Results show that the 0.45 μm filter detected the highest species richness (39 species), followed by the metaprobe (35 species), and the 1.2 μm (34 species ...

Estimating Time‐Varying Productivity and Reference Points: A Case of North Sea Demersal Fish Stocks
ABSTRACT The productivity of marine fish populations determines both maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and resilience to exploitation. While biological reference points like MSY and BMSY depend on species traits and population density, they are also influenced by environmental variability and ecological interactions.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Pacific cod, Gadus macrocephalus (Gadiformes, Gadidae) [PDF]
The Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus is a commercially important species belonging to the family Gadidae. In this study, we performed the first sequencing and assembly of the complete mitochondrial genome of G. macrocephalus. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,567 bp long, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a ...

Recovery at Morvin: SERPENT final report [PDF]
Recovery from disturbance is poorly understood in deep water, but the extent of anthropogenic impacts is becoming increasingly well documented. We used Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) to visually assess the change in benthic habitat after exploratory ...

Food composition and prey selection of cod, Gadus morhua (Actinopterygii: Gadiformes: Gadidae), in the southern Baltic Sea [PDF]
Background. At the end of 1980s, ecological regime shifts occurred in the Baltic. Since, the Baltic fish assemblage has been dominated by sprats, whereas before cod was the dominant fish species.
