Levels of persistent organic pollutants in eastern north Atlantic humpback whales
(2013)
Blubber lipid concentrations of 14 organochlorine compounds and 10 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) were measured by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection in eastern North Atlantic humpback whales Megaptera ...
Prey preferences of sympatric fin (Balaenoptera physalus) and humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae) whales revealed by stable isotope mixing models
(2013)
Over-exploitation of top predators and fish stocks has altered ecosystems towards less productive systems with fewer trophic levels. In the Celtic Sea (CS), discards and bycatch levels have prompted concern about some ...
Breeding habitat of poorly studied humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Boa Vista, Cape Verde
(2013)
The waters surrounding Cape Verde comprise one of two known breeding grounds for humpback whales in the North Atlantic. The population remains very small and has apparently failed to recover since the cessation of whaling ...
Plaice on Irish and Scottish coasts: Contributions to the ecosystem-based management approach for pleuronectes platessa fisheries
(2013-09)
This study examines aspects of the early life history, growth and condition of plaice (Pleuronectes platessa)
populations in Irish and Scottish waters, using innovative modelling approaches, among other techniques, to ...
Assessment and monitoring of ocean noise in Irish waters
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2013)
This desk study was aimed to help Ireland meet the requirements of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) (2008/56/EC) under Descriptor 11: The introduction of energy, including underwater noise, is at levels that ...
Mucus: aiding elasmobranch conservation through non-invasive genetic sampling
(Endangered Species Research, 2013-09)
Large-scale genetic sampling by non-invasive methods is of vital importance for the conservation of vulnerable or elusive species. In the marine environment, non-invasive genetic sampling can provide a powerful alternative ...
