An ecosystem model of food web and fisheries interactions in the Baltic Sea (2003, unknown): “toplankton (Carscadden et al., 2001).”
How cod shapes its world (2008, background): “These changes include direct effects of cod disappearance, such as increases in prey biomass, as well as indirect effects, such as decreased abundances of zooplankton (Carscadden et al., 2001; Casini et al., 2006) and decreased body condition of prey (Davoren and Montevecchi, 2003; Osterblom et al.”
Signals from seabirds indicate changing biology of capelin stocks (2003, background): “In view of these circumstances, we further contend that the capelin population in the NW Atlantic is exhibiting signs of reduced reproductive potential that likely reflects lower spawning biomass (Rose 2001, cf. Carscadden et al. 2001).”
Trends in Forage Fish Populations in Northern Hudson Bay since 1981, as Determined from the Diet of Nestling Thick-Billed Murres Uria lomvia (2003, background): “The capelin is sensitive to changes in oceanographic conditions and, in response to fluctuations in water temperatures, has undergone major changes in populations and distribution in waters off Atlantic Canada since the 1980s (Frank et al., 1996; Bryant et al., 1999; Carscadden et al., 2001).”
Trophic relationships among capelin (Mallotus villosus) and seabirds in a changing ecosystem (2002, background): “On the eastern Scotian Shelf, capelin catches in research bottom trawls remained high until spring 2000; the summer 2000 survey showed a dramatic decline (Carscadden et al., 2001).”
Food‐dependent individual growth and population dynamics in fishes* (2006, background): “The catastrophic behaviour resulting from food-dependent growth and size-selective predation has been forwarded as one explanation for the collapse and lack of recovery that has been observed in stocks of marine top predators like the North Atlantic cod Gadus morhua L. ( Carscadden et al., 2001; De”
Assessment methodology for Barents Sea capelin, Mallotus villosus (Müller) (2002, background): “overexploitation at any point in the history of the fisheries on those stocks (Carscadden et al., 2001).”
Comparative ecology of widely distributed pelagic fish species in the North Atlantic: Implications for modelling climate and fisheries impacts (2014, background): “Capelin is a planktivore with the main diet items being copepods, euphausiids and amphipods (see overview in Vilhjálmsson, 1994; Gjøsæter, 1998; Carscadden et al., 2001).”
Size structural change in lightly exploited coral reef fish communities: Evidence for weak indirect effects (2004, background): “Declines in Atlantic cod appear to have resulted in increases in a prey fish, capelin (Mallotus villosus) in the North West Atlantic shelf (Carscadden et al. 2001).”
Influence of diet on growth, condition and reproductive capacity in Newfoundland and Labrador cod (Gadus morhua) : Insights from stable carbon isotopes (δ13C) (2007, background): “Instead, it is being questioned whether the current low productivity of most NL cod stocks, which was no doubt precipitated by overfishing, may have become amplified and prolonged by fundamental ecosystem changes (e.g., Carscadden et al., 2001).”
Capelin are good for cod: can the northern stock rebuild without them? (2002, background): “Capelin historically constituted the most important food of northern cod in all areas (Lilly, 1994; Carscadden et al., 2001 ).”
Indirect climatic forcing of the Barents Sea capelin: a cohort effect (2004, background): “In sharp contrast, year-class strength of the capelin stocks of the NW Atlantic is strongly linked with climate through direct effects (Leggett et al. 1984, Carscadden et al. 2000, 2001).”
