Abstract:

Coastal infrastructure has replaced many vital fish nursery habitats with structures designed without fully mitigating for the loss of the natural ecosystems. This thesis details research focused on the use of small, inexpensive, artificial reef modules as replacement juvenile fish habitat within marinas. My research hypothesis was that the placement of small, structurally complex artificial reef modules would increase fish abundance and species richness relative to unmodified marina seawalls. Non-destructive visual surveys of fishes were completed monthly for 14 months for 12 artificial reef

Abstract:

Two widely-recognised hypotheses propose that increases in fish abundance at artificial reefs are caused by: (a) the attraction and redistribution of existing individuals; and/or (b) the addition of new individuals by production. Inadequate experimental designs compromised by a lack of sufficient replication and/or spatial interspersion of reefs with controls have prevented researchers from distinguishing between attraction and production. Infrequent sampling has also led to insufficient temporal coverage of life history-driven variations in fish abundance and biomass at reefs. Detection an

Abstract:

Au cours de leur cycle de vie, la plupart des espèces de poissons marins côtiers passent par des nourriceries littorales dont la qualité influence largement le succès du recrutement et donc le maintien de l’abondance de leurs populations. Or, la construction de ports entrain irrémédiablement une perte de fonction pour les habitats côtiers impactés. Dans ce contexte,l’objectif général de cette thèse était de voir si les zones portuaires peuvent malgré tout servir de nourriceries alternatives pour les poissons marins côtiers. Pour cela, les abondances des juvéniles de quatre espèces de sars, du

Abstract:

Le développement côtier introduit des habitats artificiels qui impactent la biodiversité et le fonctionnement des écosystèmes. Les solutions d'ingénierie écologique, comme les habitats artificiels à poissons (HAP), peuvent réhabiliter des zones très modifiées, comme les ports, en offrant un abri aux poissons. Les HAP peuvent aussi fournir un substrat aux invertébrés et aux macroalgues, améliorant le fonctionnement de l'écosystème. Leurs effets pourraient aller au-delà des ports et modifier les échanges trophiques avec les habitats adjacents. Cette thèse étudie la biodiversité des invertébrés a

Abstract:

Connectivity, defined as the movement of individuals among populations or habitats, is a crucial ecological process that underpins the function of ecosystems. Animal movements promote a wide array of ecological outcomes, from genetic diversity to ecosystem recovery after disturbance. Therefore, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the capabilities, scale, frequency, and locations of animal movements. In aquatic ecosystems, obtaining and analysing movement data is challenging because constantly changing environmental conditions hamper the use of traditional frameworks and methods. T

Abstract:

Relationships between fish assemblage composition and substrate variation is poorly understood in large rivers. Information on fishes occurrence and behavior and substrate variation were examined in field observations for the Middle Wabash River and fine scale artificial streams experiments. The results from field observations suggested strong concordance for variation in abundance of fishes with habitat variation among sites, resulting in a longitudinal river gradient as dominant in the Middle Wabash River. In addition, shifts in fish behavior within artificial stream experiments demonstrated

Abstract:

The physical shape or structure of a habitat is a key driver of species’ distributions and central to maintaining diversity through ecological niche differentiation. Anthropogenic influences are changing the structure of habitats and the assemblages of associated organisms globally. Understanding the links between the physical shape of habitats and the organisms they support will be essential to predicting and mitigating anthropogenic impacts. In marine ecosystems climate change, bottom trawling and marine infrastructure drive changes to the structure of habitats. While many of the observed an

Abstract:

There are large gaps in our understanding how fish populations are affected by the anthropogenic noise and the alteration of habitat caused by the construction and operation of offshore wind farms. These issues are of great importance as the construction of offshore wind farms will increase all over the world in the near future. This thesis studies these effects with a focus on fish. The wind turbine foundations function as artificial reefs and are colonized by invertebrates, algae and fish. The epibenthic assemblages are influenced by factors such as hydrographical parameters, time of submerg

A wave energy park has been established on the Swedish west coast outside Lysekil and pioneer work about its interactions with the marine environment has been conducted. So far, little is known about the effects of offshore energy installations on the marine environment, and this thesis assists in minimizing environmental risks as well as in enhancing potential positive effects on the marine environment. The Lysekil research site is situated about two kilometres offshore and has been under development since 2005. During this time 26 “environmental devices”, without generators, consisting of a

Abstract:

Synthetic marine habitats such as artificial reefs (ARs) are deployed to offset marine habitat losses and aid conservation of marine communities, including species at risk. Though environmental benefit is often assumed, AR’s ability to support northern temperate marine fish communities has rarely been tested. The structural orientation and location of a reef can strongly influence biodiversity and productivity of faunal communities inhabiting it. For ARs, understanding how reef characteristics affect species and community composition are key in optimizing their use in conservation initiatives.

Despite being a highly studied carnivore, the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) still offers the opportunity to explore many aspects of its ecology and behaviour that are poorly known or have only been investigated in temperate areas. From April 2007 to October 2010, the OPA research project (Otter Project in Alentejo) was conducted in the south-central Alentejo region of Portugal, in an area of roughly 800 km2. Through the capture and subsequent radio-tracking of 16 wild Lutra lutra individuals (9 males and 7 females) for an average of 139 radio-locations per animal (about 126 days), together wit
