Scavenging on trawled seabeds can modify trophic size structure of bottom-dwelling fish
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013-09-04)Disturbance by towed bottom-fishing gears often kills larger sensitive benthos, leading to changes in the abundance, size, and species composition of benthic communities. Short-term availability of trawl-damaged prey, and ... -
Size-related variation in fecundity of european eel (anguilla anguilla)
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012-07-12)Declining European eel ( Anguilla anguilla) recruitment has focused attention on conservation of potential spawners leaving continental waters. Fecundity of wild, seaward-migrating silver-phase eels was shown to be ... -
Size-selective fishing drives species composition in the celtic sea
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012-01-19)yFishing alters community size structure by selectively removing larger individual fish and by changing the relative abundance of different-sized species. To assess the relative importance of individual-and species-level ... -
Trophic interactions of fish communities at midwater depths enhance long-term carbon storage and benthic production on continental slopes
(The Royal Society, 2014-06-04)Biological transfer of nutrients and materials between linked ecosystems influences global carbon budgets and ecosystem structure and function. Identifying the organisms or functional groups that are responsible for nutrient ... -
