  1. 1. Monitoring marine alien and invasive species. A comparison between the traditional method (eRAS) and DNA-based identification of species.

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Josefin Holm; [2023-08-22]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There is a major concern with the uncontrolled spreading of alien and invasive species, caused by an increase in travelling by boat globally. These are dispersed via ballast water, by fouling on ships and in fishing gear. READ MORE

    Abstract : The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is an invasive alien species that poses one of the greatest threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services in Sweden today. The round goby originates from the Black Sea and Caspian Sea but has in recent decades rapidly spread with global shipping traffic to new areas in Europe and North America. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hur skiljer sig passageaktivitet mellan stensimpa och svartmunnad smörbult i slitsrännor?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Author : Ludvig Junehag; [2023]
    Keywords : Svartmunnad smörbult; Stensimpa; Invasiva arter; Fiskpassage; Slitsrännor; Artificiell intelligens; Vattenkraft; Biologisk mångfald;

    Abstract : Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka och jämföra passageaktivitet hos inhemsk stensimpa och invasiv svartmunnad smörbult i slitsrännor, för att se om det finns vattenhastigheter som förhindrar uppströmspassager av svartmunnad smörbult men tillåter fri passage av stensimpa. En mindre del av arbetet kretsade kring att undersöka om artificiell intelligens (AI) är ett användbart verktyg för att analysera videomaterial från denna typ av försök. READ MORE

    Keywords : Round goby; invasive species; Great cormorant; predator-prey interaction; prey selectivity;

    Abstract : Dispersal of invasive species poses a significant threat to biodiversity loss globally and is one of the major threats to the ecological condition in the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is facing potential problems caused by the Round goby, Neogobius melanostomus, which was presumably introduced via ballast water. READ MORE

  6. 5. Can cormorants be used as indicators of local fish abundances? : A diet study of cormorants on Gotland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Oliver Kai Hansen; [2021]
    Keywords : cormorants; Baltic; Gotland; human-wildlife conflict;

    Abstract : Human wildlife conflicts can represent missed opportunities for ecological monitoring, including tracking invasive species. The great cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis is the centre such a conflict, where the lack of concrete scientific evidence is often replaced by anecdotal evidence, leading to the vilification of these birds.
