Open AccessHidden impacts of ocean warming and acidification on biological responses of marine animals revealed through meta-analysis
Conflicting results remain on the impacts of climate change on marine organisms, hindering our capacity to predict the future state of marine ecosystems. To account for species-specific responses and for the a...

Open AccessCross-basin and cross-taxa patterns of marine community tropicalization and deborealization in warming European seas
Ocean warming and acidification, decreases in dissolved oxygen concentrations, and changes in primary production are causing an unprecedented global redistribution of marine life. The identification of underly...

Open AccessCaught in the middle: bottom-up and top-down processes impacting recruitment in a small pelagic fish
Understanding the drivers behind fluctuations in fish populations remains a key objective in fishery science. Our predictive capacity to explain these fluctuations is still relatively low, due to the amalgam o...

Open AccessRole of protozooplankton in the diet of North Sea autumn spawning herring (Clupea harengus) larvae
The role of small prey (< 200 µm) in larval marine fish nutrition is largely understudied. Here, we explore the contribution of protozooplankton (PZP 20–200 µm) to larval fish diets, compared to metazoan micro...

Open AccessStakeholder engagement vs. social distancing—how does the Covid-19 pandemic affect participatory research in EU marine science projects?
In the realm of marine science, engaging with stakeholders (e.g., industry members, policy-makers, managers, NGOs) is an important method applied in many research projects. The Covid-19 pandemic has severely i...

Open AccessPost-metamorphic carry-over effects of altered thyroid hormone level and developmental temperature: physiological plasticity and body condition at two life stages in Rana temporaria
Environmental stress induced by natural and anthropogenic processes including climate change may threaten the productivity of species and persistence of populations. Ectotherms can potentially cope with stress...

Open AccessFood availability modulates the combined effects of ocean acidification and warming on fish growth
When organisms are unable to feed ad libitum they may be more susceptible to negative effects of environmental stressors such as ocean acidification and warming (OAW). We reared sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) at...

Open AccessBlue pigmentation of neustonic copepods benefits exploitation of a prey-rich niche at the air-sea boundary
The sea-surface microlayer (SML) at the air-sea interface is a distinct, under-studied habitat compared to the subsurface and copepods, important components of ocean food webs, have developed key adaptations t...

Linking rates of metabolism and growth in marine fish larvae
The intricate relationship between metabolism and growth is still largely unexplored in early life stages of fish. In the present study, two experiments were conducted to explore how standard metabolic rate (S...

Foraging behaviour, swimming performance and malformations of early stages of commercially important fishes under ocean acidification and warming
Early life stages of many marine organisms are being challenged by climate change, but little is known about their capacity to tolerate future ocean conditions. Here we investigated a comprehensive set of biol...

Socio-economic Impacts—Fisheries
Fishers and scientists have known for over 100 years that the status of fish stocks can be greatly influenced by prevailing climatic conditions. Based on historical sea surface temperature data, the North Sea ...

Relationships between feeding, growth and swimming activity of European sprat (Sprattus sprattus L.) post-larvae in the laboratory
Despite their trophodynamic importance in many aquatic ecosystems, few studies have quantified the feeding-growth relationship of clupeid fishes. In laboratory trials, we quantified the relationship between ra...
