A new goatfish of the genus Upeneus (Mullidae) from Angoche, northern Mozambique
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-09-26)A new goatfish, Upeneus saiab n. sp. (Mullidae), is described from six specimens collected off Angoche, northern Mozambique, during a research cruise of the RV Dr. F. Nansen in August 2009. Upeneus saiab n. sp. differs ... -
Classification of Non-Indigenous Species Based on Their Impacts: Considerations for Application in Marine Management
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-15)Assessment of the ecological and economic/societal impacts of the introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS) is one of the primary focus areas of bioinvasion science in terrestrial and aquatic environments, and is ... -
Experimental Parameterisation of Principal Physics in Buoyancy Variations of Marine Teleost Eggs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-14)It is generally accepted that the high buoyancy of pelagic marine eggs is due to substantial influx of water across the cell membrane just before ovulation. Here we further develop the theoretical basis by applying laboratory ... -
Life-history implications of the allometric scaling of growth
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-05-27)Several phenomenological descriptions, such as the von Bertalanffy growth model, have been widely used to describe size-at-age and individual growth across a diverse range of organisms. However, for modelling life histories, ... -
Long-term decrease in sex-specific natural mortality of European lobster within a marine protected area
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-10-02)Marine protected areas (MPAs) and marine reserves hold promise as tools for nature conservation and fisheries management, but data on long-term demographic effects are still sparse. Here, we use a unique capture-mark-recapture ... -
Molecular Evidence that Only Two Opsin Subfamilies, the Blue Light- (SWS2) and Green Light-Sensitive (RH2), Drive Color Vision in Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-12-31)Teleosts show a great variety in visual opsin complement, due to both gene duplication and gene loss. The repertoire ranges from one subfamily of visual opsins (scotopic vision) including rod opsin only retinas seen in ... -
Ocellus-bearing Neobythites species (Teleostei: Ophidiidae) from the West Atlantic with description of a new species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)Three species of the ophidiid genus Neobythites containing ocelli in the dorsal fin are known from the West Atlantic: Neobythites gilli Goode and Bean 1885, N. ocellatus Günther 1887 and N. monocellatus Nielsen 1999. In ... -
What hat are you wearing? On the multiple roles of fishery scientists in the ICES community
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-29)Trends towards a more participatory agenda in policy-relevant science imply that the roles and work tasks of scientists become more multifaceted. In Europe, the increased use of multiannual plans creates a need for fishery ...
