Effects of climate on size structure and functioning of aquatic food webs [PDF]

, 2010
In aquatic food webs, the role of body size is notoriously strong. It is also well known that temperature has an effect on body size. For instance, Bergmann’s rule states that body size increases from warm to cold climates.

Pelagic fish in shallow waters : the ecology of small pelagic fish in the Dutch Wadden Sea

Small pelagic fish (SPF), i.e. those inhabiting the water column, are difficult to study in shallow coastal systems such as the Wadden Sea. Yet, they make up a substantial part of the overall fish biomass and play key ecological roles. Using a combination of traditional and new methods, we studied the function of the Wadden Sea for SPF and their role ...

Application of eDNA metabarcoding to assess spatial distribution and habitat use by freshwater fish in a peri-alpine lake

Ecological Indicators
The application of metabarcoding for fish eDNA analysis has been successfully implemented in a multitude of aquatic environments. While spatial distribution of fish eDNA in lentic systems has gained increasing attention recently, there is a knowledge gap

Development of kelp rockfish, Sebastes atrovirens (Jordan and Gilbert 1880), and brown rockfish, S. auriculatus (Girard 1854), from birth to pelagic juvenile stage, with notes on early larval development of black-and-yellow rockfish, S. chrysomelas (Jordan and Gilbert 1880), reared in the laboratory (Pisces: Sebastidae). [PDF]

, 2004
Larval kelp (Sebastes atrovirens), brown (S. auriculatus), and blackand-yellow (S. chrysomelas) rockfish were reared from known adults, to preflexion stage, nine days after birth for S. chrysomelas, to late postflexion stage for S.

Arsenic bioaccumulation in fish of the lower meghna river: Seasonal dynamics, species sensitivity, and public health implications.

PLoS ONE
The Lower Meghna River (LMR), located in one of Bangladesh's most arsenic-contaminated regions, is essential for local fisheries and provides water for drinking, irrigation, and daily use. Consequently, this study investigates arsenic accumulation in ten
