Developing best practice for using Marxan to locate Marine Protected Areas in European waters.
(2009)
Several recent studies have investigated the use of the conservation planning software Marxan to design Marine Protected Area (MPA) networks in UK waters. The systematic conservation planning approach embodied by Marxan ...

Chemical measurements in the Baltic Sea: guidelines on quality assurance.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2004)
This document provides an introduction to quality issues, in general, and quality assurance in
Baltic marine monitoring laboratories, in particular. The guidelines are intended to assist
laboratories in starting up and ...
Review of analytical methods for determining metabolites of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in fish bile.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2005)
In fish, metabolites of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in gall bladder bile can be used as biomarkers for recent environmental exposure to PACs. These metabolites in the bile result from hepatic biotransformation ...
Biological effects of contaminants: measurement of lysosomal membrane stability.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2004)
Lysosomes are ubiquitous cellular organelles that provide a waste disposal and macromolecular
recycling system (autophagy) and also a membrane-bound compartment for intracellular
digestion of food ingested by the cells. ...
Guidelines for the study of the epibenthos of subtidal environments.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2009)
These Guidelines for the Study of the Epibenthos of Subtidal Environments document a range of sampling gears and procedures for epibenthos studies that meet a variety of needs. The importance of adopting consistent sampling ...
Recruitment studies: manual on precision and accuracy of tools.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2004)
This manual is one of the results of the project Precision and Accuracy of Tools in Recruitment
Studies (PARS), financed by the EU (FAIR-CT96–1371). The project PARS is concerned with
improving the methodologies used in ...
Biological effects of contaminants: the use of embryo aberrations in amphipod crustaceans for measuring effects of environmental stressors.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2008)
This report describes the methodology for assessing the proportions and different
types of embryo aberrations in both sediment‐dwelling and nektonic amphipods.
Determination of malformed embryos is a sensitive method of ...
Biological effects of contaminants: use of liver pathology of the European flatfish dab (Limanda limanda L.) and flounder (Platichthys flesus L.) for monitoring.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2004)
publication provides quality assurance guidelines for the use of liver pathology of flatfish
in biological effects of contaminants monitoring programmes. Information on the sampling
procedures, including macroscopic ...
Determination of polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in sediment and biota.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2009)
This document provides advice on the analysis of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in biota and sediment. The determination of PBDEs in sediment and biota generally involves extraction with organic solvents, clean‐up, ...
