Exchange of the Wandering Albatross<i>Diomedea Exulans</i>Between the Prince Edward and Crozet Islands: Implications for Conservation

J. Cooper, Henri Weimerskirch · 1 Jun 2003

Exchange of 61 wandering albatrosses Diomedea exulans has been recorded between the French Crozet Islands and the South African Prince Edward Islands, 1 068 km apart in the Southern Ocean. Most movements of banded birds (57) have been westwards, from the Crozets to the Prince Edwards. In all, 18 fledglings banded at Possession Island, Crozets,…

Comparative trophodynamics of anchovy<i>Engraulis encrasicolus</i>and sardine<i>Sardinops sagax</i>in the southern Benguela: are species alternations between small pelagic fish trophodynamically mediated?

CD van der Lingen, L. Hutchings, JG Field · 1 Nov 2006

Abstract The results of detailed morphological, experimental, field and modelling studies on various aspects of the trophic ecology of sardine Sardinops sagax and anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus in the Benguela ecosystem are synthesised, and differences in the trophodynamics of these two species are highlighted. Anchovy possess a relatively coarse branchial apparatus; feed predominantly by particulate-feeding and…

A critical look at the potential of Ecopath with ecosim to assist in practical fisheries management

Éva E. Plagányi, Doug S Butterworth · 1 Jun 2004

Ecosystem-orientated thinking is increasingly incorporated into fishery management. Given the complexity of ecosystem processes, there is a need to evaluate the tools used to steer this thinking critically. ECOPATH with ECOSIM (EwE), an aggregate system-modelling package, is currently the most widely employed approach to assess the ecosystem effects of fishing. The basic equations and assumptions,…
