Lost fishing gear pose a threat to marine life in large parts of the world. Fishing gear have the potential to continue to fish for a long time after it has been lost, referred to as “ghost fishing”, an issue which has ...

Throughout history, human activities have had profound impacts on marine ecosystems, with clear evidence of these consequences observable in the Skagerrak region. Oceans have historically been a critical resource for ...

Dredging activities can lead to the re-suspension of contaminated sediments, resulting in a potential hazard for the whole ecosystem and also for human health. Six-month active biomonitoring was performed in order to monitor ...

Pelagic marine fish often display highly dynamic migration patterns. However, such movement behaviour is usually studied at the population or school level, while less is known about individual movement characteristics and ...

The survival of fish eggs and larvae, and therefore recruitment success, can be critically affected by transport in ocean currents. Combining a model of early‐life stage dispersal with statistical stock–recruitment models, ...

Human activities have a major effect on the world’s ecosystems including the marine environment, where harvesting practices often target individuals based on specific traits, resulting in selective fishing. This selective ...

In the last decade, the ocean has absorbed a quarter of the Earth’s greenhouse gas emissions through the carbon (C) cycle, a naturally occurring process. Aspects of the ocean C cycle are now being incorporated into climate ...

Understanding larval growth, mediated by the interaction of early life traits and environmental conditions, is crucial to elucidate population dynamics. We used a bioenergetic model as an integrative tool to simulate the ...
