Ichthyop is a free Java tool designed to study the effects of physical and biological factors on
ichthyoplankton dynamics. It incorporates the most important processes involved in fish early …

Small pelagic fish contribute up to 50% of the total landing of marine species. They are most
abundant in upwelling areas and contribute to food security. Exploited stocks of these …

Global climate change affects marine fish through drivers such as ocean warming,
acidification and oxygen depletion, causing changes in marine ecosystems and …
