A new major project on marine biodiversity spans national borders and scientific disciplines. DTU is one of 31 European research partners to form the science based effort to understand and help the ocean over the next 4 years – BIOcean5D has been kicked off.
Findings of unexpected large numbers of fin and humpback whales in the previously ice infested waters of East Greenland now indicate a tipping point in the marine ecosystem from one regime to another that may be irreversible.
BlueOcean, led by DTU Aqua, is one of four projects receiving funding from The Marine Research Programme of the North Atlantic Ocean and involving DTU Aqua. Beginning of March, researchers came to Tórshavn from Greenland, The Fareo Islands and Denmark to kick off the new marine co-research projects.
Many European fish populations are on the move due to warming oceans and increasing numbers shows new international study
Once again, DTU researchers are tagging bluefin tuna to find out why the huge fish have returned to Denmark as summer visitors. Thirty-two tuna have been tagged in four days.
The Baltic Sea is one of the world’s most affected and most intensely studied marine areas and can therefore be used as an example of what’s in store elsewhere in the world.
A new Ocean Life paper demonstrates a global mismatch in the protection of multiple marine biodiversity components and ecosystem services.
Why do we find primarily large pelagic predators such as tunas and billfish in the tropics, while in boreal and temperate regions large demersal species of gadoids and flatfish dominate?
The world’s most coveted fish is back in Danish and Swedish waters. New project will tag tuna to find out why they have come back
DTU has just signed an agreement with the University of British Columbia in Canada to expand their cooperation within research and education
We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate and compare responses of development time, cumulative degree-days and survival of fish eggs from 32 populations of 17 species in the North Atlantic to different temperatures in order to determine potential consequences of global warming for these species. We demonstrate that present day temperatures...
Ocean Life research on climate impacts on fish distributions has been quoted in the latest issue of Nature in a "News Feature" article about Greenland's future.
Warmer temperatures, and prey species which are also moving north, can be reasons why bluefin tuna were found in the Denmark Strait east of Greenland, according to a DTU Aqua investigation which has described how climate change is affecting migration behaviour and distribution of bluefin tuna.
