   Abstract : This thesis examines the biology, ecology and anthropogenic threats of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) off Zanzibar, Tanzania, based on research conducted and samples collected between 2000 and 2008. Distribution and occurrence are described based on incidental catches (bycatch) in gillnet fisheries. READ MORE

4. 2. Ecology and Conservation of the Baltic Proper Harbour Porpoise

   Author : Ida Carlén; Anders Angerbjörn; Julia Carlström; Martin Biuw; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Harbour porpoise; Baltic Sea; distribution; abundance; bycatch; conservation policy; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

   Abstract : The Baltic Proper harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) population is listed by IUCN as Critically Endangered, but conservation action has been lacking for decades, partly due to very limited knowledge on important ecological parameters such as distribution range and abundance. This thesis provides some of the information needed for implementing effective conservation.

5. 3. Complexity and Change in a Simple Food Web : Studies in the Baltic Sea (FAO Area 27.IIId)

   Author : Henrik Österblom; Sture Hansson; Robert W Furness; Stockholms universitet; []

   Abstract : An influence at one trophic level can result in dynamic impacts also on other components of a food web. These dynamics are known as trophic cascades, and can be both top-down and bottom-up. After a near-collapse of the Baltic cod Gadus morhua stock in the 1980s, its main prey sprat Sprattus sprattus increased dramatically. READ MORE

   Abstract : Overfishing and climate change put increasing pressure on marine systems, with effects on commercially targeted fish and top predators dependent on these resources. To achieve sustainable resource use, governance mechanisms need to incorporate knowledge about ecosystem dynamics. READ MORE
