Population Differentiation in Blue Whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) in the North East Atlantic Ocean
(2005)
Blue whiting is a commercially important gadoid fish found throughout the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean. It is a pelagic, migratory species with feeding grounds in the Norwegian Sea and in the Bay of Biscay. The ...
Evaluation of fish pots as a feasible fishing method in Irish waters, with specific reference to the physiological effects of common and alternate pots on the lesser spotted dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula).
(2009)
Finfish pots have emerged as a “responsible” gear, when used in combination with conservational and technical measures to sustain fisheries. Previous trials in Irish waters have offered no published reported data and so ...
A holistic stock analysis of Albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) from the North Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea
(2009)
Albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga, Bonnaterre, 1788) is a highly migratory scombrid with a cosmopolitan distribution inhabiting all the worlds’ ocean, in both tropical and temperate regions. Albacore juveniles and adults are ...
Taxonomy of the Lysianassoidea of the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean : an interactive identification key and studies on problematic groups
(2006)
A DELTA (DEscriptive Language for TAxonomy) database was constructed for 135 species of lysianassoid amphipods of the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, representing almost 20% of the total estimated number of ...
An assessment of biological and population parameters of the Common whelk, Buccinum undatum (L.) in the region of the North West Irish whelk fishery
(2006)
The Common whelk, Buccinum undatum (L.) is a conspicuous benthic scavenger in Irish waters, and is a valuable fisheries resource in South East Ireland. B. undatum is fished in many parts of its range, and previous studies ...

The brown crab (Cancer pagurus) fishery in Ireland is one of the most important financially and socio-economically, with the species worth approximately €15m per year in the first half of the decade. Only mackerel (Scomber ...
Genetic variability and phylogeography of the invasive zebra mussel, dreissena polymorpha (PALLAS)
(2005)
The zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas), a bivalve species originally native to the Black and Caspian seas, has invaded Ireland in the last decade. Five microsatellite loci were used to investigate genetic diversity ...
Diverse populations of T cells with NK cell receptors accumulate in the human intestine in health and in colorectal cancer
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, 2004)
T cells expressing NK cell receptors (NKR) display rapid MHC-unrestricted cytotoxicity and potent cytokine secretion and are thought to play roles in immunity against tumors. We have quantified and characterized NKR+ T ...

(2003)
Age, growth and reproductive biology were investigated for whiting (Merlangius merlangus) captured from the Celtic Sea (ICES division Vllg), for the period January 2001 to January 2002. Females dominated the sex ratio of ...
