Journal Article
Nolan, E. T., Hindes, A. M., Bolland, J. D., Davies, P., Gutmann Roberts, C., Tarkan, A. S., & Britton, J. R. (2024). Movements and habitat use of native and invasive piscivorous fishes in a temperate and channelized lowland river. Hydrobiologia, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-024-05533-2

Lowland temperate rivers provide important habitats for piscivorous fishes, but with their year-round spatial and temporal habitat use is often poorly understood, including their use of off-channel habitats. Here, the movements and habitat use of the... Read More about Movements and habitat use of native and invasive piscivorous fishes in a temperate and channelized lowland river.

Acoustic telemetry (AT) has emerged as a valuable tool for monitoring aquatic animals in both European inland and marine waters over the past two decades. The European Tracking Network (ETN) initiative has played a pivotal role in promoting collabora... Read More about Tracking aquatic animals for fisheries management in European waters.

The influence of passive wedge-wire screen aperture and flow velocity on juvenile European eel exclusion, impingement and passage (2023)
Journal Article

The influence of passive wedge-wire screen aperture and flow velocity on juvenile European eel exclusion, impingement and passage. Ecological engineering, 192, Article 106972. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2023.106972

The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a critically endangered catadromous fish. The decline has partly been attributed to water management infrastructure that abstract water from rivers for potable and industrial water supply, irrigation, hydroelec...

A novel method for identifying coded tags recorded on aquatic acoustic monitoring systems (2022)
Journal Article
Lowe, C. D., Tregenza, N. J., Allen, C. J., Blow, G. E., Nuuttila, H., Bertelli, C. M., …Clarke, D. R. (2022). A novel method for identifying coded tags recorded on aquatic acoustic monitoring systems. Environmental monitoring and assessment, 194(11), Article 806. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10661-022-10500-2

Aquatic biotelemetry increasingly relies on using acoustic transmitters ('tags') that enable passive detection of tagged animals using fixed or mobile receivers. Both tracking methods are resource-limited, restricting the spatial area in which moveme... Read More about A novel method for identifying coded tags recorded on aquatic acoustic monitoring systems.

Understanding the impacts of exploitation and fragmentation on the upstream migrating, adult river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis [L.]): implications for conservation (2022)
Thesis
Jubb, W. M. (2022). Understanding the impacts of exploitation and fragmentation on the upstream migrating, adult river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis [L.]): implications for conservation. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4186773

Globally, freshwater ecosystems are heavily impacted by anthropogenic pressures, including fragmentation and exploitation. Consequently, many negative impacts are observed on numerous fish populations, especially anadromous species. Currently, there...

Toward a decade of ocean science for sustainable development through acoustic animal tracking (2022)
Journal Article

The ocean is a key component of the Earth's dynamics, providing a great variety of ecosystem services to humans. Yet, human activities are globally changing its structure and major components, including marine biodiversity. In this context, the Unite...

Individual movement variation in upstream-migrating sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus in a highly fragmented river (2022)
Journal Article
Davies, P., Britton, J. R., Nunn, A. D., Dodd, J. R., Bainger, C., Velterop, R., & Bolland, J. D. (in press). Individual movement variation in upstream-migrating sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus in a highly fragmented river. Freshwater biology, https://doi.org/10.1111/fwb.13869

Anthropogenic reductions in riverine connectivity can severely impede the migrations of anadromous species. In fragmented rivers, successful migrations depend on the ability of migrants to negotiate barriers or locate alternative passage routes. Howe...

Aquatic conservation : marine and freshwater ecosystems, 31(9), 2560-2574. https://doi.org/10.1002/aqc.3625

River ecosystems are often fragmented by artificial structures, such as weirs. For anadromous species, these structures can impede access to upstream spawning sites and ultimately lead to severe population declines. This study focused on the freshwat...
