Age verification of boarfish (capros aper) in the northeast atlantic
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-11-01)The boarfish (Capros aper) is a pelagic species of recent interest to the fishing industry, with landings increasing by >500% over the past 3 years. The objective of the study was to provide a method for age ... -
First estimates of age, growth, and maturity of boarfish (capros aper): a species newly exploited in the northeast atlantic
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010-10-08)Boarfish in the Northeast Atlantic have recently been exploited commercially for fishmeal. It is a sexually dimorphic species with an estimated maximum age of 26 years, late age at maturity (A(50) = 5.25 years), relatively ... -
Influence of climate change and trophic coupling across four trophic levels in the celtic sea
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2012-10-16)Climate change has had profound effects upon marine ecosystems, impacting across all trophic levels from plankton to apex predators. Determining the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems requires understanding the ... -
Interpreting the large fish indicator for the celtic sea
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-07-25)The large fish indicator (LFI) was developed in the North Sea as a size-based indicator of fish community state. It is now established as OSPAR's fish community Ecological Quality Objective (EcoQO) metric and will be applied ... -
