Investigation into the potential use of dietary supplementation to reduce the impact of Amoebic Gill Disease
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-02-03)
Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) is a disease affecting cultured Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) which is caused by Paramoeba perurans. The immunomodulatory impact of functional foods has previously been demonstrated in salmon. ...
Microplastics in brown trout (Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758) from an Irish riverine system
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-09-01)
Rivers play an important role in the overall transport of microplastic pollution (1 μm to 5 mm), with fluvial dynamics expected to influence biotic interactions, particularly for fish. So far, there have been few assessments ...
Investigation of the Initial Host Response of Naïve Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Inoculated with Paramoeba perurans
(MDPI, 2021-04-02)
Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD), caused by the ectoparasite Paramoeba perurans is characterised by hyperplasia of the gill epithelium and lamellar fusion. In this study, the initial host response of naïve Atlantic salmon (Salmo ...
Perceptions About Marine Anthropogenic Litter & Microplastic Pollution in Ireland
(Irish Research Council, 2020)
Thank you for your interest in this booklet which provides an insight into
the current perceptions about marine litter and plastic pollution in Ireland.

Highly resolved spatiotemporal simulations for exploring mixed fishery dynamics
(Elsevier, 2020)
To understand how data resolution impacts inference on mixed fisheries interactions we developed a highly resolved spatiotemporal discrete-event simulation model MixFishSim incorporating: i) delay-difference population ...
Scale Growth Analysis of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar Linnaeus) Unlocking Environmental Histories
(2018-09)
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) populations have declined rapidly in recent years across all geographical ranges with populations becoming extinct within certain areas. Direct observation of the salmon’s life is difficult ...
The conservation of the endangered Mediterranean common dolphin (Delphinus delphis): Current knowledge and research priorities
(Wiley, 2021-03-01)
(1) Preservation of endangered species is now recognized as a relevant component of regional and global conservation actions achieved through the maintenance of the remaining populations in a favourable conservation status. ...
Plastics, prawns, and patterns: Microplastic loadings in Nephrops norvegicus and surrounding habitat in the North East Atlantic
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-02-21)
The presence of microplastics (MPs), a contaminant of emerging concern, has attracted increasing attention in commercially important seafood species such as Nephrops norvegicus. This species lend themselves well as ...
Size dependent egestion of polyester fibres in the Dublin Bay Prawn (Nephrops norvegicus)
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-05-24)
Microplastics (MPs) are an extensive global contaminant in the marine environment, known to be ingested by marine organisms. The presence of MPs in the commercially important marine decapod crustacean Nephrops norvegicus ...
High concentrations of persistent organic pollutants in adult killer whales (Orcinus orca) and a foetus stranded in Ireland
(Elsevier Ltd., 2019-10-29)
Bio-accumulation of persistent organic pollutants including polychlorinatedbiphenyls (PCBs), brominated flame retardants and organochlorine pesticides continue to be of major concern for marine apex predators such as killer ...
