This year, the Villum Foundation is awarding multimillion-dollar grants to research talents in Denmark from the foundation's Young Investigator Program (YIP) - two of the selected in 2024 come from DTU Aqua, where they deal with respectively the impact of climate change on fish and gelatinous plankton
Fish are vertically structured in the water column and this affects what they eat and by whom they are eaten. A new Ocean Life paper has extended the recent FEISTY fish community model to resolve the vertical structure of a fish community. The new model was used to predict the biogeography of marine fish food webs across ocean biomes...
Large-scale climate change projections of fish generally assume that warming waters enhance fish growth. If correct, tropical fish should grow much faster than temperate and boreal fish. But do they?
In many shelf seas and coastal areas, benthic ecosystems are affected by bottom trawling disturbance and hypoxia (low oxygen concentrations). We developed a methodology to predict benthic community impact from these pressures and used the approach to evaluate the benthic state of the Baltic Sea region.
While the planet experiences unprecedented human-induced biodiversity loss, from marine to terrestrial realms, and from microbes to large mammals, evidence that biodiversity enhances ecosystem functioning is developing. In our new paper, we ask, what are the effects of biodiversity in fished ecosystems?
A new paper from the Center for Ocean Life shows that the implications of a recent Science paper by Barneche et al. (Science 360(6389): 642) are much less dramatic than they are made to be.
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?
