Global environmental change (including climate change, biodiversity loss, changes in
hydrological and biogeochemical cycles, and intensive exploitation of natural resources) is …

Oogenesis in fishes follows a universal plan; yet, due to differences in the synchrony and
rate of egg development, spawning frequency varies from daily to once in a lifetime. Some …

Abstract Many stocks of Atlantic Cod Gadus morhua have been depleted due to interactions
between overfishing and environmental variation. Stock declines were often accompanied …

Aim This study examined phytoplankton blooms on a global scale, with the intention of
describing patterns of bloom timing and size, the effect of bloom timing on the size of …

Northern sand lance (Ammodytes dubius) and Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) represent
the dominant lipid-rich forage fish species throughout the Northeast US shelf and are critical …

Increasing ocean temperatures due to global warming are predicted to have negative effects
on coral reef fishes. El Niño events are associated with elevated water temperatures at large …

Fisheries oceanography is largely an applied discipline with a major goal of improving
fisheries management and marine conservation. Johan Hjort's critical period hypothesis …

American lobster (Homarus americanus) supports one of the most valuable regional
fisheries in the United States, with its abundance and distribution profoundly influenced by …

Abstract The North Atlantic Ocean contains diverse patterns of seasonal phytoplankton
blooms with distinct internal dynamics. We analyzed blooms using remotely-sensed …

The spring phytoplankton bloom on the US Northeast Continental Shelf is a feature of the
ecosystem production cycle that varies annually in timing, spatial extent, and magnitude. To …
