Examining the Impact of Derelict Pots on Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) Catch and Harvest Within a Recreational Fishery

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections ...

Status and future of research on the behavioural responses of marine mammals to U.S. Navy sonar

open access: yes, 2015
A review of the status and future of research into behavioral responses of marine mammals to naval sonar exposure was undertaken to evaluate the return on investment of current US Navy funded programs, identify the data needs and the contributions of ...

Delphi consensus: First‐line use of biologics and small molecules in hidradenitis suppurativa

open access: yesJournal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
This Delphi Consensus study identified upgrade criteria for the use of biologics and small molecules as first‐line therapy in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). European HS experts evaluated 16 clinical scenarios, voting on eligibility for therapy escalation.

Rapid increase in abundance and distribution of invasive pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) within a diverse, large Barents Sea catchment

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pink salmon originate from the North Pacific area but were introduced into northwest Russia from the late 1950s onwards. Since 2017, the alien species has increased dramatically in abundance and rapidly invaded adjacent areas of the North Atlantic region.

Target discrimination in bubbly water

open access: yes, 2012
A man-made sonar that can operate in bubbly water is relevant: decades of active sonar experience built up for deep water applications are insufficient for shallow water operations required of a changed maritime security landscape.

How man-made interference might cause gas bubble emboli in deep diving whales

open access: yes, 2014
Recent cetacean mass strandings in close temporal and spatial association with sonar activity has raised the concern that anthropogenic sound may harm breath-hold diving marine mammals.

Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford ...

Sonar-Based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Using the Semi-Direct Method

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
The SLAM problem is a common challenge faced by ROVs working underwater, with the key issue being the accurate estimation of pose. In this work, we make full use of the positional information of point clouds and the surrounding pixel data.
