Ecological best practice in decommissioning: a review of scientific research.
(2018)
The Oslo and Paris Commissions (OSPAR) decision 98/3 prohibits the dumping of man-made structures (MMS) offshore. However, there are regions of the world where MMS are recognized as providing an ecological and societal ...
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 ...
The MSC experience: developing an operational certification standard and a market incentive to improve fishery sustainability.
(2014)
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standard for sustainable fisheries is represented by three high-level principles and a set of 31 indicators and scoring guidelines, known as the “default assessment tree”. Over the 14 ...
Marine and coastal ecosystem-based risk management handbook.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2013)
Management of any environmental issue requires the application of management measures designed to eliminate, control, mitigate, or compensate for pressures related to the drivers of human activities to avoid potential ...

Handbook of geo-statistics in R for fisheries and marine ecology.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2017)
Fisheries surveys to estimate the abundance of populations have become a pillar in
providing fishery-independent data to determine the status of fish stocks and monitor
ecosystems. Since the early 1990s, ...
ICES Guidelines for Biological Plankton data. (Compiled August 2001; reviewed April 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)
In the context of this guideline, phytoplankton or zooplankton sampling may be accomplished
using either a vertical, horizontal or oblique tow of a net or from a ro
sette bottle.
In the case of a net, such a device ...
Acoustic target classification.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2018)
Data are collected from a variety of acoustic systems in many countries to address a
range of ecosystem monitoring and stock
management objectives. A key step in the
analysis of fisheries acoustics ...
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 ...
Calibration of acoustic instruments.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2015)
Acoustic sampling has long been a standard survey tool for estimating the abundance
and distribution of fish, zooplankton, and their seabed habitat (Kimura, 1929; Sund,
1935; Holliday, 1972a; Nielson et al., 1980). ...
