A fresh perspective on carp feeding behavior in an aquaculture pond and its consequences for individual growth

Abstract The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is an important species in global aquaculture. To optimize its production, it is necessary to understand its behaviour in relation to environmental and management factors. This study investigated the spatial and temporal dynamics of carp behaviour in a semi-intensive aquaculture pond under controlled feeding…

Can Energy Depletion of Wild Atlantic Salmon Kelts Negotiating Hydropower Facilities Lead to Reduced Survival?

Abstract Repeat spawners constitute an important component of Atlantic salmon populations, but survival of post-spawning individuals (kelts) are often compromised by anthropogenic structures such as hydropower plants (HPPs). Potential effects of HPPs include migration delays and associated increased energy depletion, which potentially results in increased overall mortality. We combined a…

Estimating the Discard Mortality of Atlantic Cod in the Southern Gulf of Maine Commercial Lobster Fishery

Abstract The Gulf of Maine (GOM) commercial lobster fishery has approximately 3.5 million actively fished traps and captures several nontargeted groundfish species, including Atlantic Cod Gadus morhua, as bycatch, yet there has been limited research on the incidental mortality of groundfish in this fishery. Although the mortality of Atlantic Cod…
