A plethora of methods to monitor shallow sublittoral benthic habitats and communities are
available to the marine researcher today. The most widely used methods are reviewed and …

This chapter reviews advances made in the study of the structure and dynamics of scallop
populations and in the development of new approaches for the assessment and …

We describe a pragmatic approach for evaluating the spatial representativeness of flux
tower measurements based on footprint climatology modeling analyses of land cover and …

Underwater imaging has long been used in the field of marine ecology but decreasing costs
of high-resolution cameras and data storage have made the approach more practical than in …

Abstracts Flood patterns altered by regulation and operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir
(TGR) on the Yangtze has negatively affected fish spawning downstream, particularly results …

Year-class strength of benthic invertebrates is generally determined during early life-history
stages. However, the contribution of different biotic and abiotic factors to the resulting …

An explicit demonstration of the changes in fish assemblages is required to reveal the
influence of damming on fish species. However, information from which to draw general …

Large-scale fishing closures are a leading tool in the spatial management of global ocean
resources. This is exemplified in the US Atlantic sea scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) …

Spatially explicit management strategies require the identification of appropriate spatial
scales for the observation, analysis and management of fisheries. Although the mesoscale …

The use of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) survey method for population density
estimates of Iceland scallops Chlamys islándica (OF Müller) was evaluated. The main focus …
