Evaluation of the reserve effect in a marine protected area in Sagres (PNSACV) [PDF]
, 2019 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), especially when set up as marine reserves, have been found beneficial for fish communities and species worldwide. Evaluation of MPA effects needs to be done to understand whether existing protection measures are efficient ...

Seasonal changes in broodstock spawning performance and egg quality in ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) [PDF]
, 2016 Sea lice continue to be one of the largest issues for the salmon farming industry and the use of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) as a biological control is considered to be one of the most sustainable solutions in development.

The reproductive cycle of female Ballan wrasse Labrus bergylta in high latitude, temperate waters [PDF]
Journal of Fish Biology, 2010 This 2 year study examined the reproductive cycle of wild female Ballan wrasse Labrus bergylta in western Norway as a precursor to captive breeding trials. Light microscopy of ovarian histology was used to stage gonad maturity and enzyme‐linked immuno‐absorbent assay (ELISA) to measure plasma concentrations of the sex steroids testosterone (T) and 17β ...

Shifting Harbor Seal (Phoca vitulina) Diet May Reflect Ecosystem Changes in Skagerrak
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Harbor seals, as generalist predators, can adjust their diet in response to shifts in prey availability; thus, their diet composition has the potential to act as a biodiversity indicator. This study examined the diet of harbor seals in the Skagerrak by analyzing otoliths from scat samples collected in 2020 and compared species composition to ...

Welfare Indicators for Aquaculture Research: Toolboxes for Five Farmed European Fish Species
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Refining approaches to measuring, monitoring and appraising animal welfare in aquaculture research is key to (i) protecting and optimizing it, (ii) documenting the severity of how and when it deviates, and (iii) ensuring good scientific quality, reliable results and reproducibility, amongst other factors.

Early Nutritional Programing: Unlocking the Potential of Fish for Sustainable Aquaculture
Aquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Nutritional programing, which explores the link between early nutritional conditions and their long‐term effects on animals, is a developing field within fish biology. Suboptimal nutritional status during early life is strongly associated with a higher risk of metabolic consequences later in life, including permanent growth retardation, impaired neural

Revealing Chronotypes Across Aquatic Species Using Acoustic Telemetry
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 1134-1145, November 2025.ABSTRACT Acoustic telemetry offers valuable opportunities to investigate individual variability in circadian‐related and other behaviours and how environmental cues shape these patterns in wild fish populations. However, this potential has not yet been fully exploited.

Sustainable production and use of cleaner fish for the biological control of sea lice: recent advances and current challenges [PDF]
, 2018 Currently, cleaner fish are one of the most widely used sea lice control strategies in Atlantic salmon aquaculture. Two species are currently being farmed in North Atlantic countries, ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) and lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus), and
