Unnatural Oceans

Scientia Marina, 2001
Ecological understanding of the oceans is based on an unnatural mix of mostly small species whose trophic relations are distorted to an unknown degree by the overfishing of megafauna including sharks, sea turtles, sea cows, seals, and whales.

Historical ecology of anadromous houting (Coregonus oxyrinchus / C. lavaretus) in the Rhine-Meuse delta

Global Ecology and Conservation
Houting (Coregonus oxyrinchus / C. lavaretus) is a facultative anadromous fish species that gradually declined and finally extirpated from the Rhine-Meuse delta during the first half of the 20th century, together with several other migratory fish species.
