Quantifying carbon fluxes from primary production to mesopelagic fish using a simple food web model (2019, background): “Feeding may occur primarily during the hours of dawn and dusk as the migrators travel to and from surface waters (Allison et al., 1996; Cardinale et al., 2003).”
Feeding preferences of herring (Clupea harengus) and sprat (Sprattus sprattus) in the southern Baltic Sea (2004, background): “Since in autumn in the Bornholm Basin, clupeids (especially sprat and smaller herring) feed mostly, even though not exclusively, between 0 and 50 m (Orlowski, 2000; Cardinale et al., 2003), the prey found in this depth interval could reliably represent their available prey.”
Diel echolocation activity of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) around North Sea offshore gas installations (2009, background): “Herring are also abundant on the Dogger Bank (Zijlstra, 1969), exhibit diel, vertical-migration behaviour (Blaxter and Holliday, 1969), and come to the surface at night where they disperse and swim more slowly (Blaxter and Batty, 1987; Cardinale et al., 2003).”
Rapid changes in growth, condition, size and age of small pelagic fish in the Mediterranean (2014, unknown): “, 330 a first mode (comprising the small individuals) and a second much larger peak (Cardinale et al. 2003).”
