Small pelagic fish (SPF) play extremely important ecological roles in marine ecosystems,
form some of the most economically valuable fisheries resources, and play a vital role in …

This paper reviews relevant investigations conducted in the Western Iberia Upwelling
Ecosystem (WIUE) on the dynamics of small pelagic fish (SPF), its relationship to climate …

The Canary Current upwelling ecosystem (CanC) constitutes one of the four main eastern
boundary upwelling ecosystems (EBUEs) of the world, thus hosting high productivity and …

Due to vertical variations in ocean circulation, larval Northeast Arctic cod Gadus morhua
may influence their own drift routes by migrating vertically. By coupling a larval individual …

The present study describes the larval and juvenile fish fauna of an estuary and its adjacent
coastal area (Mondego estuary, Northwest coast of Portugal) and evaluates their function as …

Teleost fishes have body tissues that are denser than water, causing them to sink. Many
teleosts therefore possess a gas-filled swimbladder that provides lift, allowing fish to attain …

It has become increasingly apparent that widely varying behaviors of organisms (eg,
ontogenetic depth preference, selective tidal stream transport, position maintenance) can …

The present review addresses recent findings made in the western Iberia ecosystem on the
behavioural and physical interactions that regulate dispersal, supply to coastal habitats and …

The vertical distribution of decapod larvae off the northwest Portuguese coast was analysed
in relation to associated environmental conditions from sampling during a 69 h period …

The influence of the environmental conditions during larval development on the resulting
recruitment strength was investigated for European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) at Atlanto …
