While the relatively infamous Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) fisheries have recovered in some areas, the cod fishery in the Firth of Clyde on the west coast of Scotland remains depleted. The role of juvenile fish survival in determining the future cohort sizes is important, yet the key habitats for juvenile marine fishes in the U.K. have received little attention. Many juvenile fish inhabit shallow coastal areas, where the monitoring of fish is not possible using fisheries dependent methods. Here, we conducted 31 stereo-video scuba transects during daylight hours from June to September 2013 within a proposed marine protected area (MPA) in the Firth of Clyde. More juvenile Atlantic cod Gadus morhua of fork length (LF) range 6–11 cm were observed in substrata containing mixed gravel, including maerl, than in boulder-cobble substrata with high algal cover, or sand with low density seagrass. Community composition was significantly different between substratum types. A decrease in G. morhua abundance was observed over the period of data collection. Over time, mean and variance in G. morhua LF increased, indicating multiple recruitment events. Protecting mixed gravel substrata could be a beneficial management measure to support the survival and recruitment of juvenile G. morhua; other substrata might be important at night given their diel migratory behaviour. Stereo-video cameras provide a useful non-destructive fisheries-independent method to monitor species abundance and length measurements.

Evidence of energy and nutrient transfer from invasive pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) spawners to juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) in northern Norway
Dunlop, Kathy; Eloranta, Antti P.; Schoen, Erik; Wipfli, Mark; Jensen, Jenny L.A.; Muladal, Rune; Christensen, Guttorm N. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2021)Recent large influxes of non‐native Pacific pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) to North European rivers have raised concern over their potential negative impacts on native salmonids and recipient ecosystems. The eggs and ... -
Warming temperatures and ectoparasitic sea lice impair internal organs in juvenile Atlantic salmon
Medcalf, Kate E.; Hutchings, Jeffrey A.; Fast, Mark D.; Kuparinen, Anna; Godwin, Sean C. (Inter-Research, 2021)As a consequence of climate change and open net-pen salmon farming, wild Atlantic salmon Salmo salar are increasingly likely to encounter elevated temperatures and parasite abundances during their early marine migration. ... -
Simulated eutrophication and browning alters zooplankton nutritional quality and determines juvenile fish growth and survival
Taipale, Sami; Kahilainen, Kimmo Kalevi; Holtgrieve, Gordon William; Peltomaa, Elina Talvikki (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)The first few months of life is the most vulnerable period for fish and their optimal hatching time with zooplankton prey is favored by natural selection. Traditionally, however, prey abundance (i.e., zooplankton density) ... -
Pulsed flow-through cultivation of Margaritifera margaritifera : effects of water source and food quantity on the survival and growth of juveniles
Hyvärinen, Heini S. H.; Chowdhury, M. Motiur R.; Taskinen, Jouni (Springer, 2021)Conservation of the endangered freshwater pearl mussel (FPM) includes artificially rearing juveniles, but the pulsed flow-through (PFT) method, enabling the continuous renewal of water and food in culture containers, has ... -
Spatio-temporal differences in the growth of wild and reared Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in the Baltic Sea
Peltola, Mikko (2013)Syönnösvaellus ja nopea kasvu ovat olennainen osa Atlantin lohen (Salmo salar L.) ekologiaa, niinpä kasvunopeuden selvittäminen on tärkeä osa kalatutkimusta. Tuottavimmat syönnösalueet tulisi tietää, jotta olisi mahdollista ...
