Journal Article

The behaviour of returning Salmo salar (Linnaeus, 1758) approaching, and attempting to pass low-head weirs remains relatively unknown. A radio telemetry array was created at a low-head weir to enable the behaviour of S. salar (n = 120) to be observed...

Density- and species-dependent errors in single-pass timed electrofishing assessment of riverine salmonids (2017)
Journal Article
Honkanen, H. M., Dodd, J. A., Fordyce, J. R., Boylan, P., & Adams, C. E. (2018). Density- and species-dependent errors in single-pass timed electrofishing assessment of riverine salmonids. Ecology of Freshwater Fish, 27(1), 98-102. https://doi.org/10.1111/eff.12327

Electrofishing techniques are widely used for the estimation of the size of stream‐dwelling fish populations for both fishery management and scientific study. In contrast to multiple pass, population depletion methods, single‐pass catch‐per‐unit‐effo...

The effect of foraging and ontogeny on the prevalence and intensity of the invasive parasite Anguillicola crassus in the European eel Anguilla anguilla (2017)
Journal Article
Barry, J., Newton, M., Dodd, J. A., Evans, D., Newton, J., & Adams, C. E. (2017). The effect of foraging and ontogeny on the prevalence and intensity of the invasive parasite Anguillicola crassus in the European eel Anguilla anguilla. Journal of Fish Diseases, 40(9), 1213-1222. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfd.12596

Infection patterns of the invasive Anguillicola crassus nematode were investigated in a population of the European eel Anguilla anguilla where parasite invasion is very recent, Loch Lomond, Scotland. Intensity levels of the parasite were associated w...

Predictions of the identities and ecological impacts of invasive alien species are critical for risk assessment, but presently we lack universal and standardized metrics that reliably predict the likelihood and degree of impact of such invaders (i....
