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 …

Due to their population characteristics and trophodynamic role, small pelagic fishes are
excellent bio-indicators of climate-driven changes in marine systems world-wide. We argue …

This review highlights the concepts and instrumentation of imaging flow cytometry
technology and in particular its use for phytoplankton analysis. Imaging flow cytometry, a …

Small pelagic fish are the link between planktonic production and higher trophic levels.
Competition for resources may play a role in the population dynamics of species, some of …

Any technique developed to enumerate plankton must take into account the size structure of
the plankton community. Automatic sampling devices must be capable of analysing a …

Dispersal of fish early life stages explains part of the recruitment success, through
interannual variability in spawning, transport and survival. Dispersal results from a complex …

A size-structured, bioenergetics model was implemented to examine the effects of short-term
environmental changes on European anchovy, Engraulis encrasicolus, in the North-western …

Recruitment of European anchovy has been traditionally thought to largely depend on the
passive transport and dispersion of eggs and larvae from spawning to nursery areas …

Water temperature and food availability are two environmental factors that are widely
considered to be likely determinants of recruitment success of fish stocks. However, marine …

European anchovy eggs (Engraulis encrasicolus L.) were hatched and larvae reared in the
laboratory in order to validate the daily increment deposition in otoliths under different …
