Small pelagic fish (SPF) play extremely important ecological roles in marine ecosystems,
form some of the most economically valuable fisheries resources, and play a vital role in …

Polar cod and capelin are key species in Arctic and sub-Arctic marine food webs,
respectively, and the objective of this study is to compare and contrast the two species. Their …

Year-class strength of Barents Sea capelin has been monitored closely since the early
1970s and during this∼ 45 years period three short periods of almost total recruitment …

Mortality rates in the early life-history stages of fishes are generally high yet identifying the
causes remain unclear. Faltering recruitment rates of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in …

The capelin is a small pelagic fish that performs long distance migrations. It is a key species
in the Barents Sea ecosystem and its distribution is highly climate dependent. Here we use …

Energy flow and trophic regulation are often well understood in closed freshwater
ecosystems. Such regulation is harder to understand in large marine ecosystems, as they …

Predation has been suggested as a cause of substantial mortality of fish larvae to the degree
that it might influence recruitment. This field-based study concludes that juvenile herring …

To understand the marine feeding ecology of Arctic lamprey (Lethenteron camtschaticum) in
the eastern Bering Sea, visual observations and DNA metabarcoding of gut contents (N …

In this paper we present a general modelling approach for coupled length-structured fish
populations. The model includes a target set of fish species which are modelled with full …

The Barents Sea stock of capelin (Mallotus villosus) has suffered three major collapses (>
90% reduction) since 1985 due to recruitment failures. As capelin is a key species in the …
