Extinction risks and threats facing the freshwater fishes of Britain (2023)
Journal Article
Nunn, A. D., Ainsworth, R. F., Walton, S., Bean, C. W., Hatton-Ellis, T. W., Brown, A., Evans, R., Atterborne, A., Ottewell, D., & Noble, R. A. (in press). Extinction risks and threats facing the freshwater fishes of Britain. Aquatic conservation : marine and freshwater ecosystems, https://doi.org/10.1002/aqc.4014

Extinctions occur naturally in all environments, but rates have accelerated rapidly during the Anthropocene, especially in fresh water. Despite supporting many fish species of conservation importance, there has never been a formal assessment of their...

Upstream spawning migration of river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) in the River Yorkshire Ouse, 2018-2020 (2023)
Data
Bolland, J. D., Jubb, W. M., Noble, R. A. A., Nunn, A. D., Dodd, J. R., Lucas, M. C., Lothian, A. J., Bubb, D. H., & Albright, A. J. (2023). Upstream spawning migration of river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) in the River Yorkshire Ouse, 2018-2020. [Data]. https://doi.org/10.14284/623

This study investigated the upstream spawning migration of anadromous river lamprey in the Yorkshire Ouse, a highly dendritic and heavily fragmented tributary of the Humber Estuary (home to one of the largest UK river lamprey populations). The main E... Read More about Upstream spawning migration of river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) in the River Yorkshire Ouse, 2018-2020.

Catchment-wide interactive effects of anthropogenic structures and river levels on fish spawning migrations (2023)
Journal Article
Jubb, W. M., Noble, R. A., Dodd, J. R., Nunn, A. D., Schirrmacher, P., Lothian, A. J., Albright, A. J., Bubb, D. H., Lucas, M. C., & Bolland, J. D. (2023). Catchment-wide interactive effects of anthropogenic structures and river levels on fish spawning migrations. Anthropocene, 43, Article 100400. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ancene.2023.100400

Worldwide, rivers are extensively fragmented by anthropogenic structures, reducing longitudinal connectivity, inhibiting migration and leading to severe declines in many fish populations, especially for diadromous species. However, few studies have d... Read More about Catchment-wide interactive effects of anthropogenic structures and river levels on fish spawning migrations.

Acoustic telemetry informs conditional capture probability of an anadromous fish (2023)
Journal Article
Jubb, W. M., Noble, R. A., Dodd, J. R., Nunn, A. D., Lothian, A. J., Albright, A. J., Bubb, D. H., Lucas, M. C., & Bolland, J. D. (2023). Acoustic telemetry informs conditional capture probability of an anadromous fish. Fisheries research, 264, Article 106737. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fishres.2023.106737

Information on movement ecology and susceptibility to fishing gears is becoming increasingly employed in the management of commercial fisheries. This study combined acoustic telemetry (n = 51 and 52) and a simple passive integrated transponder (PIT)...

Using acoustic tracking of an anadromous lamprey in a heavily fragmented river to assess current and historic passage opportunities and prioritise remediation (2023)
Journal Article
Jubb, W. M., Noble, R. A., Dodd, J. R., Nunn, A. D., & Bolland, J. D. (in press). Using acoustic tracking of an anadromous lamprey in a heavily fragmented river to assess current and historic passage opportunities and prioritise remediation. River Research and Applications, https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.4140

Anthropogenic structures extensively fragment riverine systems, reducing longitudinal connectivity, inhibiting migration and leading to severe declines in many fish populations, especially for diadromous species. This study investigated the upstream...

Understanding the impact of barriers to onward migration; a novel approach using translocated fish (2023)
Journal Article
Jubb, W. M., Noble, R. A., Dodd, J. R., Nunn, A. D., Lothian, A. J., Albright, A. J., Bubb, D. H., Lucas, M. C., & Bolland, J. D. (2023). Understanding the impact of barriers to onward migration; a novel approach using translocated fish. Journal of environmental management, 335, Article 117488. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.117488

River catchments worldwide are heavily fragmented by anthropogenic barriers, reducing their longitudinal connectivity and contributing to the decline of migratory fish populations. Direct impacts of individual barriers on migratory fish are well-esta... Read More about Understanding the impact of barriers to onward migration; a novel approach using translocated fish.
