Regional variation in the role of bottom-up and top-down processes in controlling sandeel abundance in the North Sea (2007, background): “Sandeels are dependent on specific types of sandy sediments, and adults only occur in areas where such sediments are common (Wright et al. 2000).”
Sandeel recruitment in the North Sea: demographic, climatic and trophic effects (2002, background): “Thereafter, the juveniles settle onto seabed areas with course, sandy substrata (Wright et al. 2000).”
Identifying sandeel Ammodytes marinus sediment habitat preferences in the marine environment (2005, background): “Avoidance of silt rich sediments by sandeels has previously been reported both in the field (Macer 1966, Reay 1970, Meyer et al. 1979, Wright et al. 2000) and experimentally (Pinto et al. 1984, Wright et al. 2000).”
Lessons learned from practical approaches to reconcile mismatches between biological population structure and stock units of marine fish (2017, background): “Post-settlement sandeels are largely sedentary and demonstrate high site fidelity (Wright et al., 2000), which results in the formation of local subpopulations in the North Sea due to the limited exchange of adults between areas.”
Whale watching disrupts feeding activities of minke whales on a feeding ground (2013, background): “Sandeels have a patchy distribution and are relatively stationary in movement (Wright et al. 2000).”
Regional patterns of kittiwake Rissa tridactyla breeding success are related to variability in sandeel recruitment (2005, unknown): “Sandeels are closely associated with specific types of sandy sediment to which they settle as juveniles; they subsequently spend most of their life buried, except when feeding in the water column or spawning (Wright et al. 2000).”
Using marine mammal habitat modelling to identify priority conservation zones within a marine protected area (2009, background): “For example, sandeels, a known seal prey item (Hammond et al. 1994, Thompson et al. 1996, Brown & Pierce 1998), avoid sediments with a silt/clay content of more than 10% (Wright et al. 2000).”
