Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the Cape Verde Islands: Migratory Patterns, Resightings, and Abundance
(2020-01)
Effective conservation of the endangered North Atlantic humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) which breeds in the eastern North Atlantic around the Cape Verde Islands off West Africa requires information about their ...
Spatio-temporal genetic tagging of a cosmopolitan planktivorous shark provides insight to gene flow, temporal variation and site-specific re-encounters
(Springer Nature, 2020-02-03)
Migratory movements in response to seasonal resources often influence population structure and dynamics. Yet in mobile marine predators, population genetic consequences of such repetitious behaviour remain inaccessible ...
Trace elemental fingerprinting of shells and soft tissues can identify the time of blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) harvesting
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-08-15)
Reliance on seafood for a source of animal protein is growing globally and this is likely to continue as Earth's population continues to rise. An active shift towards farmed produce over wild caught is occurring, attributed ...
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 ...
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 ...
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.
The results presented here are based on an online survey conducted ...
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 ...
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 ...
Long-term trends in herring growth primarily linked to temperature by gradient boosting regression trees
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-09-01)
Environmental change and fishing activity can produce directional trends in exploited fish populations with consequences for stock productivity. For herring in the Celtic Sea, size at age has been in steady decline since ...
A first acoustic density estimate for sperm whales in Irish offshore waters
(International Whaling Commission, 2020)
Previous studies off western Ireland have suggested that substantial numbers of, mainly male, sperm whales may be found in these habitats. Whaling vessels operating from shore stations in Ireland in the early 20th century ...
