Catching the future: Applying Bayesian belief networks to exploratory scenario storylines to assess long‐term changes in Baltic herring ( Clupea harengus membras, Clupeidae) and salmon ( Salmo salar, Salmonidae) fisheries

Sensory and Chemical Properties of Baltic Sprat (Sprattus sprattus balticus) and Baltic Herring (Clupea harengus membras) in Different Catching Seasons

Abstract. Baltic sprat (Sprattus sprattus balticus) and Baltic herring (Clupea harengus membras L) are two of the most caught fish species among the Estonian seacoast fishermen, and therefore it is important to understand catching season effects on sprat and herring sensory and nutritional quality. The aim of this study was to measure and compare sensory and chemical variability of Baltic sprat...

Linking fisheries, trophic interactions and climate: threshold dynamics drive herring Clupea harengus growth in the central Baltic Sea

How multiple stressors influence fish stock dynamics is a crucial question in ecology in general and in fisheries science in particular. Using time-series covering a 30 yr period, we show that the body growth of the central Baltic Sea herring Clupea harengus, both in terms of condition and weight-at-age (WAA), has shifted from being mainly driven by hydro-climatic forces to an interspecific den...

Shifts in the Spring Herring (Clupea harengus membras) Larvae and Related Environment in the Eastern Baltic Sea over the Past 50 Years

Because of the high management relevance, commercial fish related aspects have often been central in marine ecosystem investigations. The iterative shiftogram method was applied to detect occurrence, type and timing of shifts in the single and multivariate time series linked to the spring spawning herring larvae in the Gulf of Riga (Baltic Sea). Altogether nineteen larval herring and related en...

Fourteen new microsatellite markers for Atlantic herring Clupea harengus.

Fourteen new microsatellite loci were developed and tested on Atlantic herring Clupea harengus with 39 individuals from Iceland and 49 individuals from Norway. The microsatellites, which contain di, tri and tetranucleotide repeats, are polymorphic (7-30 alleles), with observed heterozygosity ranging between 0·69 and 1·00 and expected heterozygosity between 0·55 and 0·97.
