Microplastic is considered a potential threat to marine life as it ingested by wide variety of species. Most studies on microplastic ingestion are short-term investigations and little currently known about how this has developed over the last decades where global plastic production increased exponentially. Here we present first long-term study in environment, covering three from 1987 2015, based unique sample set originally collected conserved for food web studies. We investigated...
Abstract We developed and validated a mixed-stock analysis (MSA) method with 59 single-nucleotide polymorphisms selected from genome-wide data to assign individuals populations in samples of Atlantic herring the North Baltic seas. analysed 3734 spawning locations scientific catches mixed feeding stocks demonstrate “one-fits-all” tool unprecedented accuracy for monitoring spatio-temporal dynamics throughout large geographical range complex stock mixing. re-analysed time-series (2002–2021)...
Abstract The eastern Baltic cod stock has recently started to recover, after two decades of severe depletion, however with unexpected side effects. not re‐occupied its former wide distribution range, but remains concentrated in a limited area the southern Sea. biomass forage fish, i.e., sprat and herring, is historic low this area, which combination increasing results locally high predation mortality fish cannibalism cod. In line prey availability, body weight nutritional condition...
Abstract Genetic data have great potential for improving fisheries management by identifying the fundamental units—that is, biological populations—and their mixing. However, so far, number of practical cases marine using genetics has been limited. Here, we used Atlantic cod in Baltic Sea to demonstrate applicability a complex scenario involving mixing two genetically divergent populations. Specifically, addressed several assumptions current assessment Through analysis 483 single nucleotide...
The Eastern Baltic cod abundance started rapidly to increase in the mid-2000s as evidenced by analytical stock assessments, due increased recruitment and declining fishing mortality. Since 2014, assessment is not available, leaving present status unclear casting doubts about magnitude of recent recruitment. Earlier studies identified main factors impacting on reproductive success be related loss two out three spawning areas 1980s caused lack major inflows with a concurrent reduction salinity...
Abstract Aim Invasive species are of increasing global concern. Nevertheless, the mechanisms driving further distribution after initial establishment non‐native remain largely unresolved, especially in marine systems. Ocean currents can be a major driver governing range occupancy, but this has not been accounted for most invasion ecology studies so far. We investigate how well areas interconnected to later occupancy regions test potential role ocean secondary spread dynamics order infer...
Abstract Hinrichsen, H-H., Huwer, B., Makarchouk, A., Petereit, C., Schaber, M., and Voss, R. 2011. Climate-driven long-term trends in Baltic Sea oxygen concentrations the potential consequences for eastern cod (Gadus morhua). – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 2019–2028.

Furthermore, enhanced...
A significant increase in the infection level of Baltic cod Gadus morhua with anisakid nematode larvae Contracaecum osculatum and Pseudoterranova decipiens has been recorded during recent years due to expanding local population grey seals Halichoerus grypus, which act as final hosts for these parasites. Here, we report from an investigation 368 (total length [TL] 6-49 cm; caught ICES Subdivision 25) that juvenile (TL 6-30 cm) C. P. is absent or very low, whereas it increases drastically...
The disappearance of larger individuals and the decrease in individual body condition suffered by Atlantic cod Gadus morhua eastern Baltic during past two decades can be expected to affect stock reproductive output. To investigate this, female G. were collected spawning pre-spawning period 2015-2016. current potential fecundity (FP ) was estimated analysed relation total length (LT indices nutritional status such as (K) hepato-somatic index (IH using generalized linear models. In addition,...

Abstract Native to the Ponto-Caspian region, benthic round goby ( Neogobius melanostomus ) has invaded several European inland waterbodies as well North American Great Lakes and Baltic Sea. The species is capable of reaching very high densities in ecosystems, with not only evidence for significant food-web effects on native biota habitats, but also negative implications coastal fishers. Although generally considered a species, it been shown that migrate deeper areas other lakes during cold...
