An Assessment of Demersal Elasmobranch Occurrence and Associated Habitats Using an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (<span>AUV</span>) Open
To implement effective management and conservation strategies, an understanding of the spatial ecology, habitat preferences and movement of demersal elasmobranchs is required. This study combines a photographic survey obtained from an auto…

How well do connectivity tools agree over the full life cycle? A case study of <span>Irish Sea</span> plaice <i>Pleuronectes platessa</i><span>Linnaeus</span>, 1758 Open
Adult plaice in the Irish Sea have distinct traits that reflect the spawning locations that could suggest a number of different populations. However, do connectivity pathways support this concept? Different tools are directed at measuring …

A review of new and existing non-extractive techniques for monitoring marine protected areas Open
Ocean biodiversity loss is being driven by several anthropogenic threats and significant efforts are required to halt losses and promote healthy marine ecosystems. The establishment of a network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) can help re…

Measuring and modelling the dispersal of salmon farm organic waste over sandy sediments Open
Fish farm waste dispersal models are widely used but have only been directly validated to a limited extent. Two shallow (<20 m) Atlantic salmon farms (Bay of Meil and Quanterness) in Orkney, Scotland were studied. Bay of Meil has peak near…

The importance of local fisheries as a cultural attribute: insight from a discrete choice experiment of seafood consumers Open
The role of maritime heritage in providing benefits such as sense of place and identity has been well documented, but there is limited quantitative analysis (especially in monetary valuation) of its influence on people’s preferences. In th…

Modelling the impacts of climate change on thermal habitat suitability for shallow-water marine fish at a global scale Open
Understanding and predicting the response of marine communities to climate change at large spatial scales, and distilling this information for policymakers, are prerequisites for ecosystem-based management. Changes in thermal habitat suita…

Refining Fisheries Advice With Stock-Specific Ecosystem Information Open
Although frequently suggested as a goal for ecosystem-based fisheries management, incorporating ecosystem information into fisheries stock assessments has proven challenging. The uncertainty of input data, coupled with the structural uncer…

Survival rates for Nephrops norvegicus discarded from Northern European trawl fisheries Open
When discarded from bottom trawl fisheries, survival of Nephrops norvegicus may be sufficiently high that this species can be exempted from the EU Landing Obligation. In three studies, Nephrops were sampled from trawlers in northern Europe…
