Abstract Large-scale electronic tagging is a very powerful tool to study how fish movements and migrations shape the internal dynamics of populations. This knowledge, crucial for improving fishery management, was still limited European seabass, whose stocks in Northeast Atlantic have declined drastically over last decade. To better understand species ecology spatio-temporal structure population, we tagged seabass North Sea, English Channel, Bay Biscay, from 2014 2016. Out 1220 deployed DSTs,...
Prolonged use of cordarone in an excessive dosage gives rise to a striking photosensitivity light-exposed skin areas, followed by slate-like pigmentation. The case report concerns 54-year-old woman. We could prove that pigment accumulation took place the areas as well not-light-exposed areas. Histochemically and electronmicroscopically, this was interpreted lipofuscin.
Abstract Technological advances are key to maximizing the information potential in electronic tagging studies. Acoustic tags inform on location of tagged animals when they range an acoustic receiver, whereas archival render continuous time series logged sensor measurements, from which trajectories can be inferred. We applied a newly developed data storage tag (ADST) 154 three fish species investigate this combination tag. Fish were reconstructed depth and temperature histories using existing...
In this study, three new models were developed for efficacy testing of mycotoxin-detoxifying agents in relation to recent European guidelines. the first model, deoxynivalenol was given broiler chickens as an intra-crop bolus together with a agent order study plasma concentration–time profile deoxynivalenol. second same oral given, preceded by agent, make sure detoxifying present whole intestinal tract when mycotoxin administered. third mixed feed chickens, and after 1 week's feeding, bolus....
The movement ecology of European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax, remains poorly understood, especially in the northern ranges its distribution. To investigate migration patterns seabass from southern North Sea, we combined data different projects four countries using various tagging techniques. This resulted 146 recaptures (out 5598 externally marked seabass), 138 detected animals 162 fitted with an acoustic transmitter) and 76 archived depth temperature series 323 archival tag). Using...
Abstract Offshore wind farms (OWFs) are expanding rapidly in the North Sea, often creating spatial conflicts with fisheries. Managing such requires knowledge on impact of OWFs distribution and movement behaviour fished species. However, is still lacking, especially for soft sediment fish as flatfish, which vital fisheries resources region. Therefore, we used acoustic telemetry to examine European plaice relation an OWF its structures. In a small study area (1.37 km2), observed high residency...
Abstract Acoustic telemetry is increasingly used to observe and monitor animal movements in aquatic environments. Practical deployment mechanisms are needed sustain consistent data flows challenging A tripod frame was developed facilitate the of acoustic receivers on seabed, allowing for recovery all equipment with an release system. The procedures proved be practical efficient during a field trial North Sea. Compared common cabled design, realized significantly higher detection probability...
Abstract Background In acoustic telemetry studies, detection range is usually evaluated as the relationship between probability of detecting an individual transmission and distance transmitter receiver. When investigating animal presence, however, few detections will suffice to establish animal’s presence within a certain time frame. this study, we assess its impacting factors with novel approach aimed towards studies making use binary presence/absence metrics. The determining frame...
Abstract Insight into the detection range of acoustic telemetry systems is crucial for both sampling design and data interpretation. The highly dependent on environmental conditions can consequently be substantially different among aquatic systems. Also within systems, temporal variability significant. number studies to assess in has been growing, though there remains a knowledge gap estuarine habitats. In this study, 2-month experimental set-up was used affecting factors an estuary. Given...
Abstract Through regular sampling surveys, the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) is generating a long‐term data series for Belgian coastal water and sandbank system, designated site in Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) network. The built from activities initiated 2012 framework of LifeWatch marine observatory. Nine nearshore stations are sampled monthly, with an additional eight offshore seasonally. This paper presents generated zooplankton densities size measurements, analysed using...
Abstract We investigated the movements of European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax, to understand habitat use and connectivity evaluate how individual seabass are protected by spatiotemporal fisheries restrictions in place. tagged with acoustic transmitters a study area Port Zeebrugge (Belgium) southern North Sea. The 370,200 detections 57 revealed high residency period from late March–May September–November, as well site fidelity (70.7%). Whereas majority left winter, 13 stayed harbour...
The aim of this study was to investigate whether T‐2 toxin, a potent Fusarium mycotoxin, affects the oral absorption antibiotic chlortetracycline in pigs. Animals were allocated blank feed without toxin (controls), containing 111 μg T‐2/kg feed, T‐2‐contaminated supplemented with yeast‐derived additive, or solely respectively. After 21 days, an intragastric bolus given assess potential alterations pharmacokinetics commonly used antibiotic. A significantly higher area under plasma...
