Acoustic observations of dusky dolphins Lagenorhynchus obscurus hunting Cape horse mackerel Trachurus capensis off Namibia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-05-16)Predator–prey interactions of mammals and their fish prey in marine ecosystems are rarely identified and recorded. We document for the first time the underwater behaviour of hunting dusky dolphins Lagenorhynchus obscurus ... -
Effect of turbulence on the energetics of foraging in Atlantic cod Gadus morhua larvae
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004-11-01)A net energy gain (NEG) model was used to assess the effects of turbulence on the energy budget of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua larvae, feeding on copepod nauplii at different concentrations. The geometry of their prey search ... -
Environmental drivers of Atlantic salmon behaviour in sea-cages: a review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-02-03)Salmon may sense and respond to a range of environmental variables within sea-cages, including light, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, water currents and certain chemical treatments used during production. Environments ... -
Environmental influences on the recruitment process inferred from otolith stable isotopes in Merluccius merluccius off the Balearic Islands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008-08-13)Oxygen (δ18O) and carbon (δ13C) isotope ratios in sagittal otoliths were analysed in recruits and juveniles of European hake Merluccius merluccius L. caught in the northwest (Sóller, SO) and south (Cabrera, CA) of the ... -
Growth and mortality patterns evaluated from otolith microstructure in Atlantic cod Gadus morhua larvae reared on different feeding regimes in mesocosms
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003-12-15)The objective of this work was to test the hypothesis that in a situation where predators are excluded growth and mortality rates of cod larvae should be independent. This was evaluated from distributions of otolith ...
