This review focuses on the larval, postlarval, and early benthic life of Homarus and
Nephrops, the two best studied, and commercially most important, genera of the …

The density, size composition and growth of Nephrops norvegicus were examined at six
sites in part of the Firth of Clyde, SW Scotland, between 1990 and 1992. Sampling was …

Nine free-drifting buoys were deployed for a period of 10 days in July 1990 in the western
Irish Sea. High resolution buoy trajectories clearly revealed the existence of a cyclonic …

Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) populations were sampled by trawling over the
Catalan Sea (NW Mediterranean) continental shelf and slope, covering the whole depth …

Recent evidence has shown that some intertidal benthic species may re-enter the water
column after larval settlement and undergo active and/or passive redistribution but there are …

Norway lobster Nephrops norvegjcus (L.) larvae are hatched into the water column from
areas of fine mud and spend about 50 d in the plankton before resettling onto mud as …

Three cruises were conducted in the Irish Sea during May, June and July 2001 to determine
the variability in inherent optical properties (IOP), photo physiological parameters and …

The book is divided into five parts. The first part, Species in Ancient Lakes, contains 7
chapters, which together provide an introduction to the study of species and biodiversity of …

The western Irish Sea is an important spawning and nursery ground for many commercially
exploited fish. Spawning begins in the Irish coastal regions in early spring, and moves …

The western Irish Sea seasonal gyre is widely thought to play an important role in the local
retention of resident larvae. This mechanism could be particularly crucial for the larvae of the …
