What makes fish vulnerable to capture by hooks? A conceptual framework and a review of key determinants (2017, background): “Small fish may be invulnerable to large hooks as a consequence of the gape size (Arlinghaus et al., 2008; Erzini et al., 1997; Karpouzi & Stergiou, 2003; Millar, 1992).”
Effects of hook size and barbless hooks on hooking injury, catch per unit effort, and fish size in a mixed-species recreational fishery in the western Mediterranean Sea (2008, background): “Serranus scriba has a larger mouth and mouth area, and a hook larger than those used in this study would be necessary to investigate any effect of hook size on capture ( Karpouzi and Stergiou, 2003 ).”
Sizing up the ecological role of sharks as predators (2014, background): “Individual function changes due to ontogenetic diet shifts as organisms grow in size (Karpouzi & Stergiou 2003, Pinnegar et al. 2003).”
Body size and trophic position in a temperate estuarine food web (2008, background): “This relationship is consistent with other fish studies (Stergiou and Karpouzi, 2002; Karpouzi and Stergiou, 2003).”
Size structural change in lightly exploited coral reef fish communities: Evidence for weak indirect effects (2004, background): “A size spectrum approach implies a predation-based structuring mechanism, in the sense that fish are morphometrically constrained to eat smaller-bodied prey (Pope et al. 1994; Scharf et al. 2000; Karpouzi and Stergiou 2003).”
Enhanced bioaccumulation of mercury in deep-sea fauna from the Bay of Biscay (north-east Atlantic) in relation to trophic positions identified by analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes (2012, unknown): “As many species switch their diet during the ontogenesis with increasing size (Karpouzi and Stergiou, 2003; Chouvelon et al., 2011), the different species have to be compared at equivalent stages of their life histories (Jennings et al., 2001).”
Feeding ecology of myctophid fishes in the northern Scotia Sea (2009, background): “8, also see Jennings et al. 2001), gape size of the fish (Karpouzi & Stergiou 2003) and the filtering capability of the gill rakers probably influence diet selectivity.”
