Informing improved management of mixed fisheries through comparative modelling of fleet dynamics
(2020-09)
Mixed fisheries, where several species are caught in the same fishing operation, are ubiquitous and a major challenge for fisheries management. Overexploitation occurs in mixed fisheries where fishers catch species for ...
Driven to distraction? Behavioural impacts of anthropogenic noise on the European hermit crab (Pagurus bernhardus) from individual to group level
(2019-05)
Human activities are altering the planet at an unprecedented scale and pace, ranging from effects on global systems such as climate and carbon cycles to localised but globally wide-spread exposure to anthropogenic pollution ...
Molecular ecology of white-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) in Ireland.
(2018-10)
The white-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes, Lereboullet 1858) is a large freshwater invertebrate that has important functions in maintaining ecosystems. Historically, the species was broadly distributed across ...
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 ...
Virulence factors associated with amoebic gill disease from Neoparamoeba perurans
(Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, 2020-10)
Determining the virulence factors associated with pathogenic organisms is imperative in comprehending disease pathogenesis and ultimately paves the way for methods of treatment and disease management. Neoparamoeba perurans ...
Addressing cohort uncertainty through advanced length frequency and stage-based assessment models with application to anglerfish
(Atlantic Technological University, 2022-02)
Fisheries stock assessments are important tools for successful management of fisheries. Reliability of a stock assessment model is often determined by the data available and accounting for key uncertainties in the data is ...
Unlocking the archive: using the biochemical and isotopic composition of fish scales to understand the marine phase of Atlantic salmon
(2022-04)
The Atlantic salmon is a species of great importance culturally, economically and ecologically. Recent declines suffered by many populations have been linked to marine mortality, therefore a better understanding of the ...
