Download ICES Zooplankton Methodology Manual Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The term "zooplankton" describes the community of floating, often microscopic, animals that inhabit aquatic environments. Being near the base of the food chain, they serve as food for larger animals, such as fish. The ICES (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea) Zooplankton Methodology Manual provides comprehensive coverage of modern techniques in zooplankton ecology written by a group of international experts. Chapters include sampling, acoustic and optical methods, estimation of feeding, growth, reproduction and metabolism, and up-to-date treatment of population genetics and modeling. This book will be a key reference work for marine scientists throughout the world. Sampling and experimental design Collecting zooplankton Techniques for assessing biomass and abundance Protozooplankton enumeration and biomass estimation New optical and acoustic techniques for estimating zooplankton biomass and abundance Methods for measuring zooplankton feeding, growth, reproduction and metabolism Population genetic analysis of zooplankton Modelling zooplankton dynamics This unique and comprehensive reference work will be essential reading for marine and freshwater research scientists and graduates entering the field.

Download Evaluating the Effects of Atlantic Menhaden Management and Environmental Change on the Northwest Atlantic Ocean Ecosystem Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Atlantic Menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) is an abundant forage fish species whose management has recently shifted from using single species reference points to ecological reference points. This type of management allows for the ecological role (e.g., supporting predators) of the species to be considered when making management decisions, and is part of a growing global movement towards ecosystem-based fisheries management. One model that aided in this transition from single species to ecological reference points was the Northwest Atlantic Continental Shelf (NWACS13) model created using Ecopath with Ecosim (Buchheister et al. 2017). Here, I updated and expanded the NWACS13 model with four years of additional data and used it to address three main objectives. First, I evaluated the effects of different Menhaden fishing mortality rates on the relative biomasses of modeled species groups using 50-year projections. Second, I examined whether single species biomass target reference points would be achieved for five focal species of management interest (Striped Bass, Bluefish, Weakfish, Spiny Dogfish, Atlantic Herring) under different fishing rates for Menhaden and the focal species. Third, I implemented bottom-up, primary production forcing in the ecosystem model to explore the long-term consequences on biomass and catch of a 3.5% and 6% decrease in phytoplankton biomass that represents a range of climate-change effects from the literature. Results indicate that ecological reference points behaved as they were designed, to push Striped Bass biomass toward its target. Nearshore piscivorous birds and pelagic sharks were identified as species of concern and were not included in less complex models. The inclusion of a primary production forcing function strengthened the relationship between Atlantic Menhaden and Striped Bass biomass in model projections, a key interaction evaluated in setting ecological reference points for Atlantic Menhaden. The inclusion of climate change projections identified disproportionate negative impacts on the biomass and catch of several species groups including Weakfish, Atlantic Cod, Striped Bass, Bluefish, and Spiny Dogfish. This model and study can contribute to fisheries management by identifying species or interactions of concern that are sensitive to Menhaden fishing mortality rates. This work contributes to Menhaden management by providing insight into the benefits of adding further complexity to models currently used for management decision making. More broadly, this work contributes to the ecosystem-based management movement and shows how climate impacts can be considered in making management decisions.
