Abstract Knowledge of the foraging ecology of fishes is fundamental both to understanding
the processes that function at the individual, population and community levels, and for the …

Some of most used indicators in marine ecology are nucleic acid-derived indices. They can
be divided by target levels in three groups: 1) at the organism level as ecophysiologic …

Due to atmospheric accumulation of anthropogenic CO 2 the partial pressure of carbon
dioxide (pCO 2) in surface seawater increases and the pH decreases. This process known …

In the coming decades, environmental change like warming and acidification will affect life in
the ocean. While data on single stressor effects on fish are accumulating rapidly, we still …

In rivers, lakes, and other aquatic systems throughout the world, intake pipes withdraw huge
volumes of water for industrial purposes, including power plant cooling. During this process …

Weight-specific growth rate (G) and growth performance (the fraction of maximum growth
realized, G pf) are key demographic characteristics. The ratio of RNA/DNA (RD) can provide …

Increases in swimming ability have a profound influence on larval fish growth and survival
by increasing foraging success, predator avoidance and the ability to favorably influence …

Fish adjust rates of somatic growth in the face of changing food consumption. As in other
vertebrates, growth in fish is regulated by the growth hormone (Gh)/insulin-like growth factor …

Nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacteria (NFC) are important primary producers in many freshwater
and marine systems, including the Baltic Sea. In this system, NFC circumvent summer …

Energy is a fundamental currency of life that can be quantified in organisms to understand
how environmental conditions and anthropogenic stressors affect individuals, scaling up to …
