  4. 2. Living in a predation matrix : Studies on fish and their prey in a Baltic Sea coastal area

    Author : Ida Ahlbeck; Sture Hansson; Hannu Lehtonen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diet analysis methods; Sander lucioperca; behaviour; rearing environment; diel vertical migration; Acartia spp.; Eurytemora affinis; Perca fluviatilis; stable isotopes; body condition; sedentarity; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Abstract : This thesis was written within the framework of a biomanipulation project where young-of-the-year (YOY) pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) were stocked to a Baltic Sea bay to improve water quality through a top-down trophic cascade. The aim of my doctorial studies was however focused on a broader ecological question, namely predation (the main driving force in a biomanipulation). READ MORE

  5. 3. Round goby Neogobius melanostomus in the Baltic Sea – Invasion Biology in practice

    Author : Gustaf Almqvist; Magnus Appelberg; Sture (biträdande) Hansson; Johanna Mattila; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Round goby; Neogobius melanostomus; Apollonia melanostoma; non-indigenous fish; life history characteristics; predation; competition; Gulf of Gdańsk; Baltic Sea.; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; marin- och brackvattensekologi; Marine and Brackish Water Ecology;

    Abstract : Human mediated transfer of non-indigenous species is considered to be a major threat to global biodiversity. The Ponto-Caspian round goby (Neogobius melanostomus), which has established populations in various regions in Eurasia and North-America, was first observed in Gulf of Gdańsk, Baltic Sea, in 1990.

  6. 4. Pelagic Fish Distribution and Dynamics in Coastal Areas in the Baltic Sea Proper

    Author : Thomas Axenrot; Sture Hansson; Stein Kaartvedt; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; herring; Baltic; hydroacoustic; distribution; behaviour; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Pelagic fish distribution and diel behaviour patterns were studied in coastal areas in the north-western Baltic Sea Proper to understand more about how fish distribution and behaviour might affect planning and analyses of results of hydroacoustic surveys (Papers I and II). The vertical distribution of fish at night from spring to autumn showed seasonal and annual trends that could be explained by predictable and consistent seasonal changes, e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Distribution and activity of pelagic fish - acoustic studies in the Baltic Sea

    Author : Tomas Didrikas; Sture Hansson; Thomas Mehner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pelagic; fish; hydroacoustic; distribution; activity; Baltic; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Fisheries agencies around the Baltic Sea use hydroacoustics to assess stock sizes of herring and sprat. These assessments rely on the assumption that the acoustic properties of Baltic clupeids are the same as North Sea herring. READ MORE
