  Seabirds are important vectors for nutrient transfer across ecosystem boundaries. In this seasonal study, we evaluate the impact of an Arctic colony (Alkhornet, Svalbard) of Black-legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) and Brünnich’s Guillemots (Uria lomvia) on stream nutrient concentrations and fuxes, as well as utilization by coastal biota. Water samples from seabird-impacted and control streams were collected regularly throughout the melt season (June–September) for nutrient and organic carbon analysis. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis (δ13C and δ15N) was used to assess whether seabird derived nitrogen (N) could be traced into flamentous stream algae and marine algae as well as consumers (amphipods). Concentrations of nitrate (NO3−) and nitrite (NO2) peaked in July at 9200 µg N L−1 in seabird-impacted streams, 70 times higher than for control streams. Mean concentrations of phosphate (PO4 3−) in seabird-impacted streams were 21.9 µg P L−1, tenfold higher than in controls. Areal fuxes from seabird-impacted study catchments of NO3− + NO2− and PO4 3− had estimated ranges of 400–2100 kg N km−2 and 15–70 kg P km−2, respectively. Higher δ15N was found in all biota collected from seabird-impacted sites, indicating utilization of seabird-derived nitrogen. Acrosiphonia sp. from seabird-impacted sites had higher δ15N values (20–23‰ vs. 3–6‰) and lower C:N ratios (10.9 vs. 14.3) than specimens collected from control sites, indicating reliance on seabird-derived nitrogen sources and potentially higher N-availability at seabird-impacted nearshore sites. Our study demonstrates how marine nutrients brought onshore by seabirds also can return to the ocean and be utilized by nearshore primary producers and consumers.

  Both the Norwegian Spring Spawning herring (Clupea harengus) and the Northeast Arctic (NEA) cod (Gadus morhua) are examples of strong stock reduction and decline of the associated fisheries due to overfishing followed by a recovery. Cod and herring are both part of the Barents Sea ecosystem, which has experienced major warming events in the early (1920–1940) and late 20th century. While the collapse or near collapse of these stocks seems to be linked to an instability created by overfishing and climate, the difference of population dynamics before and after is not fully understood. In particular, it is unclear how the changes in population dynamics before and after the collapses are associated with biotic interactions. The combination of the availability of unique long-term time series for herring and cod makes it a well-suited study system to investigate the effects of collapse. We examine how species interactions may differently affect the herring and cod population dynamic before and after a collapse. Particularly we explore, using a GAM modeling approach, how herring could affect cod and vice versa. We found that the effect of cod biomass on herring that was generally positive (i.e., covariation) became negative after the collapse (i.e., predation or competition). Likewise a change occurred for the cod, the juvenile herring biomass that had no effect before the collapse had a negative effect after. Our results indicate that the population collapses may alter the inter-specific interactions and response to abiotic environmental changes. While the stocks are at similar abundance levels before and after the collapses, the system is potentially different in its functioning and may require different management action.

  Climate change has large effects on population dynamics of fish species in high latitude ecosystems. Arctic fish stocks experience multiple pressures with changing abiotic living conditions and increased competition and predation from boreal species. However, there are many unknowns regarding how environmental change influences the dynamics of those populations. Here, we focused on the Barents Sea polar cod, a pan-Arctic zooplanktivorous key fish species physiologically and ecologically adapted to the presence of sea ice. We developed an age-resolved Bayesian state-space model of the dynamics of polar cod based on 30 yr of survey data (1986-2015). Using this model, we quantified how inter-annual changes in abundance were associated with abiotic variables (temperature and sea ice cover) and biotic variables (prey biomasses and a predation index). Using the model output, we used a hindcast scenario approach to investigate to which degree the observed variations in total population size were related to the abiotic or biotic variables. Our results showed that variation in abundance of young polar cod (ages 0 and 1) was best explained by abiotic variables while variation in the older age groups (ages 3 and 4) was best explained by predation. Hindcast scenarios showed that the abiotic variables had a more evident effect than predation on population dynamics, but none of the variables we considered could explain the drastic population decline observed in recent years. Our work shows the advantages of studying age-specific responses as a stepping stone to understand changes at the population level.

  While the importance of early life survival and growth variations for population dynamics is well documented, there is still a relatively limited understanding of how survival and growth is affected by the species’ spatial distribution. Using Barents Sea spatial bottom survey data (1994–2018), we study the spatiotemporal variability of the juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) growth and survival. We used indices of the spatial distribution of juvenile cod at age-1 to study the role of distribution for the change in abundance and mean body size through their second winter of life (from age-1 to age-2). Over the 24 years analysed, we found that the location where the age-1 cod are in the Barents Sea matters for their growth and survival. We found that year-classes growing up in the western Barents Sea have higher mortality but faster growth than year-classes distributed farther east. Our results indicate that the biotic and abiotic conditions encountered at the settlement location may influence the spatial survival and growth of age-1 cod and subsequently the population dynamics. Our results underscore the importance of distribution for survival and growth early in life and by providing this essential information has implications for stock assessment and spatial fisheries management.

  A key process affecting variation in the recruitment of fish into fisheries is the spatio-temporal overlap between prey and predator (match-mismatch hypothesis, MMH). The Northeast Arctic cod Gadus morhua and its dominant prey, the copepod Calanus finmarchicus, have long been studied in the Norwegian-Barents Sea system. However, the mechanistic explanation of how cod survival is affected by MMH dynamics remains unclear. Most MMH studies have focused on either the time synchrony or the spatial overlap between trophic levels. Here, we used G. morhua larvae and C. finmarchicus data collected in the Norwegian-Barents Sea via ichthyoplankton surveys from 1959-1992 to assess the effect of the predator-prey relationship on predator recruitment to the fisheries at age 3 (as a measure of survival) and to develop a metric of predator-prey overlap using spatio-temporal statistical models. We then compared the interannual variability of the predator-prey overlap with the predator’s abundance at recruitment to assess how MMH dynamics explain the survival of cod during its early life stages. We found that the amount of overlap between cod larvae (length: 11-15 mm) and their prey explained 29% of cod recruitment variability. Positive correlations between predator-prey overlap and subsequent recruitment were also found for predators of 6-10 and 16-20 mm, but not for 21+ mm. This improved predator-prey overlap metric is thus (1) useful to better understand how predator-prey dynamics at early life stages of fish impact the survival of later stages; and (2) a valuable tool for assessing the state of an ecosystem.

  In high-latitude marine environments, primary producers and their consumers show seasonal peaks of abundance in response to annual light cycle, water column stability and nutrient availability. Predatory species have adapted to this pattern by synchronising life-history events such as reproduction with prey availability. However, changing temperatures may pose unprecedented challenges by decoupling the predator-prey interactions. Here we build a predator-prey model accounting for the full life-cycle of fish and zooplankton including their phenology. The model assumes that fish production is bottom-up controlled by zooplankton prey abundance and match or mismatch between predator and prey phenology, and is parameterised based on empirical findings of how climate influences phenology and prey abundance. With this model, we project possible climate-warming effects on match-mismatch dynamics in Arcto-boreal and temperate biomes. We find a strong dependence on synchrony with zooplankton prey in the Arcto-boreal fish population, pointing towards a possible pronounced population decline with warming because of frequent desynchronization with its zooplankton prey. In contrast, the temperate fish population appears better able to track changes in prey timing and hence avoid strong population decline. These results underline that climate change may enhance the risks of predator-prey seasonal asynchrony and fish population declines at higher latitudes.

  Climate variability, fishing and predation are the main factors affecting fish population dynamics. In this study, the drivers of population growth variability were investigated for 7 fish stocks (2 cod, 4 herring and 1 mackerel stock) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (NW Atlantic). The annual population growth sensitivity to both recruitment and survival (i.e. how much population growth depends on recruitment and survival) was estimated through elasticity analyses before being linked to harvesting history as well as environmental conditions (climate and predation). Stock-specific generalized additive models showed that population growth was most sensitive to recruitment variability with decreasing fish generation time, increasing water temperature and, in some cases, with predation. The dependence of population growth on recruitment, however, was generally close to 0, albeit higher for pelagic stocks than for demersal ones. This indicates that adult survival was more important than recruitment in shaping population growth and thus population size. As climate mainly acts on recruitment while fishing affects adult survival, management efforts seem more important than climate variability in regulating population growth, especially for long-lived cod. Nevertheless, population growth may become increasingly dependent on recruitment variability with warming waters; therefore, more flexible management strategies should be developed to cope with these oscillations.

  For long-distance migrations to pay off for individual fish, the energetic costs must be counterbalanced by benefits. Understanding the fitness trade-offs associated with migration is essential for our ability to sustainably manage migratory species. Here, we investigated such trade-offs associated with the spawning migration of Northeast Arctic cod Gadus morhua, a stock of high historical and commercial value known to be able to migrate more than 1000 km southward to reach suitable spawning grounds. Reaching the more distant spawning grounds requires more energy and hence leaves less energy available for processes such as egg production. Previous studies have indicated that increased larval survival (e.g. from rapid early development in warmer southern waters) may offset the parental costs of migration. However, it was suggested that spatial variability in survival of early life stages might cancel out this survival benefit. As an alternative, we ask if the fitness benefit of long-distance migration may reside in increased offspring growth. Using an integral projection model incorporating effects of body length and migration distance, we quantified the increase in offspring growth needed to offset parental costs of long-distance migration on fitness. Our results suggest that a 12.5% length in crease of juvenile cod is required to offset parental costs of long-distance migration. This is within the estimated growth benefit of 20% suggested by drift models of early life stages of cod. These results highlight the potential importance of offspring growth as another factor explaining the benefit of long distance migration, broadening our knowledge on spawning migration.

  We used a comparative approach investigating commercially fished species with contrasting life histories and trophic positions in an Arcto-boreal system, the Barents Sea. Our objective was to address the ecological consequences of harvesting on stock properties (stochastic growth rate; a property related to intrinsic growth rate) in relation to different external conditions (fishing pressure and climate). We used age-structured population matrices to calculate the transient elasticity of population growth with respect to recruitment (how much population growth depends on recruitment) over time. Using a generalized additive model (GAM) analysis, we found that the transient elasticity of population growth to recruitment overall depends mostly on age structure (which in turn is affected by fishing) but also on climate (temperature change or winter North Atlantic Oscillation). Our results indicate that under warmer conditions, population growth of high latitude stocks becomes increasingly dependent on recruitment, which makes the stocks more difficult to manage. In general, there was no effect of ongoing fishing pressure on elasticity after age structure had been taken into account, supporting the view that long-term fishing pressure affects the susceptibility of the population to climate indirectly, by changing the age structure of the stock. However, for most of the stocks we have studied here, populations have low elasticity to recruitment due to their life history, meaning that the health of the stock mainly depends on survival after the recruitment stage; i.e. fisheries management is more important than climate.

  To investigate laying decision and clutch size determination in indeterminate layers, we analysed in-nest activity (nest presence, and copulation, prey deliveries, and entrance frequencies) and female body mass change, as well as their relation to clutch size variation in five Barn Owl pairs (Tyto alba) nesting in eastern France. Body mass of the female and behaviour [copulation frequency, entrance frequency, and prey delivery to the nest by the male (in number and mass)] were monitored using an automated weighing system and a video camera. There was a consistent change of behaviour and foraging activity among pairs ca. 18 days before laying indicating that the females may be tied to the nest at this time. Barn Owls being indeterminate layers have their clutch size determined at the oviposition of the first egg of the clutch. Window correlation analyses between the clutch size and the female body mass gain indicate that the clutch size might be determined no later than a few days before the laying of the first egg. Our results suggest that female Barn Owls may use the pre-laying period to determine the clutch size using cues such as the male food deliveries (a proxy for male quality).

  The Barents Sea is a shelf sea sustaining a highly productive ecosystem including several commercially important fish stocks among which the Northeast Arctic (NEA) cod (Gadus morhua), Norwegian Spring Spawning (NSS) herring (Clupea harengus) and the Barents Sea (BS) capelin (Mallotus villosus) are key fish species in this ecosytem. NSS herring is currently one of the largest herring stocks in the world, and it is both an important prey (for e.g. cod and marine mammals) and predator species (for e.g. planktonic early life stages of fish and zooplankton). It spawns in the Norwegian Sea in February-March and deposits eggs on the sea bottom. After hatching, larvae and 0-group appear in the upper water layer and drift by the coastal current to enter the Barents Sea where they spend their first 3 to 4 years of life before migrating to the north Atlantic as adult. It is during its juvenile life stage that the herring is susceptible to predation by the large stock of NEA cod. Here, we develop a state-space model to estimate the effect of cod predation on young herring mortality. We used the obtained estimates to quantify at the population level the joint effect of fishing and cod predation on young herring. Our results indicate a significant effect of cod and illustrate how management of NSS herring benefits from jointly considering cod and fishing.
