DOI: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2021.737392
Abstract: Abstract Scallops are one of the most heavily traded and widely consumed seafood in the world and the vast majority of production comes from aquaculture. In 2018, the global value of scallop aquaculture was over… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2021.103608
Abstract: Abstract The morphology of divergent continental margins results from, amongst other things, rift processes, juxtaposition of oceanic, continental and transitional crust, and subsequent loading and shaping by sedimentary processes. The resulting morphologies have led to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2017.05.001
Abstract: In the Northwest Atlantic Ocean (NWAO), spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) is a promising commercial species following of collapse of traditional groundfish stocks. There are little available data assessing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in NWAO spiny dogfish.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2017jc013414
Abstract: The relationship between North Pacific variability and sea surface temperature (SST) of the Northwest Atlantic continental shelf is examined over interannual time scale in 1982–2014. Statistically significant negative correlations exist between Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-76617-x
Abstract: Novel 3-D passive particle tracking experiments were performed in the northwest Atlantic to elucidate connectivity among areas closed to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems. We examined (1) the degree of vertical movement of particles released at… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-018-0112-9
Abstract: Domestication is rife with episodes of interbreeding between cultured and wild populations, potentially challenging adaptive variation in the wild. In Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, the number of domesticated individuals far exceeds wild individuals, and escape… read more here.

Spatially varying phytoplankton seasonality on the Northwest Atlantic Shelf: a model-based assessment of patterns, drivers, and implications
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Ices Journal of Marine Science"
DOI: 10.1093/icesjms/fsab102
Abstract: The signal of phytoplankton responses to climate-related forcing can be obscured by the heterogeneity of shelf seascapes, making them difficult to detect from fragmented observations. In this study, a physical–biological model was applied to the… read more here.
