Larval dispersal is arguably the most important but least understood demographic process
in the sea. The likelihood of a larva dispersing from its birthplace to successfully recruit in …

A series of complementary hypotheses have been proposed to explain the recruitment of
marine and temperate pelagic fish larvae originated from pelagic eggs in coastal …

Tidal-stream energy devices currently require spring tide velocities (SV) in excess of 2.5 m/s
and water depths in the range 25–50 m. The tidal-stream energy resource of the Irish Sea, a …

A number of studies have illustrated the utility of environmental DNA (eDNA) for detecting
marine vertebrates. However, little is known about the fate and transport of eDNA in the …

Throughout a renewable energy project, a developer must be confident in their
understanding of the available resource. They will need information about the power yield …

When selecting sites for marine renewable energy projects, there are a wide range of
economical and practical constraints to be considered, from the magnitude of the resource …

As the marine renewable energy industry evolves, in parallel with an increase in the quantity
of available data and improvements in validated numerical simulations, it is occasionally …

Biophysical models often require shelf-scale domains to map larval dispersal over several
weeks, presenting a computational challenge. This can be overcome by decreasing model …

Abstract Tidal Energy Converter (TEC) arrays are expected to reduce tidal current speeds
locally, thus impacting sediment processes, even when positioned above bedrock, as well …

Background Larval connectivity between distinct benthic populations is essential for their
persistence. Although connectivity is difficult to measure in situ, it can be predicted via …
