Abstract. Due to atmospheric accumulation of anthropogenic CO2 the partial pressure carbon dioxide (pCO2) in surface seawater increases and pH decreases. This process known as ocean acidification might have severe effects on marine organisms ecosystems. The present study addresses effect early developmental stages, most sensitive stages life history, Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus L.). Eggs were fertilized incubated artificially acidified (pCO2 1260, 1859, 2626, 2903, 4635 μatm) a control...
Protecting the ocean has become a major goal of international policy as human activities increasingly endanger integrity ecosystem, often summarized "ocean health." By and large, efforts to protect have failed because, among other things, (1) underlying socio-ecological pathways not been properly considered, (2) concept health ill defined. Collectively, this prevents an adequate societal response how ecosystems their vital functions for societies can be protected restored. We review...
In spite of being essential to the functioning physical, biological and societal processes, oceans are often ‘out sight mind’. However, technological advances including remote sensing techniques, ocean sensor networks underwater robots enable acquisition analysis marine big data making somehow known. Through use AI, more ‘smart’ technologies such as intelligent emerging, marking a new era in observation, identification processes forecasting (1). As AI can bridge fill gaps enhance modelling,...
Abstract Due to the strong interconnectedness between ocean and our societies worldwide, improved governance is essential for sustainable development in context of UN Ocean Decade. However, a multitude different perspectives—ecological, societal, political, economic—and relations these have be understood taken into consideration foster transformative pathways towards marine sustainability. A core challenge that we are facing ‘right’ response complex societal issues cannot known beforehand as...
The stable production of high-quality fry in marine aquaculture is still hampered by unpredictable mortality caused infectious diseases during larval rearing. Consequently, the development new biocontrol agents crucial for a viable industry. bacterial energy storage compound poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) has been shown to exhibit beneficial properties on aquatic organisms such as enhanced survival, growth, disease resistance and controlling effect gastrointestinal microbiota. However, PHB...
Abstract The reliable production of marine fish larvae is one the major bottlenecks in aquaculture due to high mortalities mainly caused by infectious diseases. To evaluate if compound poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) might be a suitable immunoprophylactic measure larviculture, its capacity improve immunity and performance European sea bass ( Dicentrarchus labrax ) yolk-sac was explored. PHB applied from mouth opening onwards stimulate developing larval immune system at earliest possible point...

Fish early life stages are particularly vulnerable and heavily affected by changing environmental factors. The interactive effects of multiple climate change-related stressors on fish larvae remain, however, largely underexplored. As rising temperatures can increase the abundance virulence bacteria, we investigated combination a spring heat wave bacterial exposure development Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus). Eggs Western Baltic Spring-spawners were reared at normal high temperature ramp...
Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus), an ecologically and economically important species in the northern hemisphere, shows pronounced seasonal migratory behaviour. To follow distinctive migration patterns over hundreds of kilometers between feeding, overwintering spawning grounds, they are probably guided by orientation mechanisms. We tested whether juvenile spring-spawning herring, caught western Baltic, use a sun compass for just before start leaving their hatching area. Fish were randomly...
This paper provides a critical contribution to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030, outlining some core challenges sustainable ocean governance and management by reflecting on modes logics interactions between ocean-related sciences, policy-makers practitioners. In this regard, we give an overview potential for, of, transdisciplinary research which is essential understanding linkages oceans societies thereby attending contemporary concerns. The contributes...
