An increase in snake pipefish (Entelurus aequoreus) in the northeast Atlantic: possible causes and effects
Climate induced changes in the planktonic community have been reported in the North Atlantic in recent years (Beaugrand et al., 2002), and similar responses has been seen in higher trophic levels (eg fish, Brander et al., 2003). Many of these responses have been identified by the use of the Continuo...
