We analyzed over 30 years of survey data to describe the environmental drivers, such as depth and temperature, linked to the occurrences of cephalopods in the NE Atlantic. This analysis aims to better understand the habitat requirements of commercially important species. An ICES WGCEPH output.
Oceanographic parameters associated with spatial occurrence of cephalopods in standardized demersal fishing trawls in the NE Atlantic - Marine Biology
In this work, the environmental occurrence ranges of different European cephalopod species are described for the whole NE Atlantic shelf including the greater North Sea and Baltic Sea. This is done ba...

The #ocean provides for all of us, but that is not the end of the story. We are part of the ecosystem and we need to respect that. The fish 🐟 we eat, the corals 🪸 that protect our coast, with our actions we influence them, harm them and in doing so can harm ourselves.
🌍 Excited to share our new e-book: Understanding the Response of Ecosystems to Increasing Human Pressures and #ClimateChange – #Management Options! 🚀 Explore its 27 papers: 🔗 www.frontiersin.org/research-top... 🌐🌍 #MarineEcology #GES4SEAS #Conservation #EcosystemBasedManagement #NatureBasedSolutions
Understanding the Response of Ecosystems to Increasing Human Pressures and Climate Change – Management Options
The human footprint on the world's oceans has grown significantly in recent years, exerting immense pressure on marine ecosystems and leading to a decline in ocean health. The cumulative impacts of hu...
