Testing the bottom-up hypothesis for the decline in size of anchovy and sardine across European waters through a bioenergetic modeling approach

Clara Menu et al.

Summary: Small pelagic fish in European seas have been decreasing in size and body condition over the past two decades, with recent studies suggesting a bottom-up control. To better understand how the environment affects these fish, a comparative approach was used to study European anchovy and sardine in the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. Bioenergetic models based on the Dynamic Energy Budget theory were developed and calibrated, showing that temperature and zooplankton play a significant role in regional growth differences. However, the decrease in size observed in the Bay of Biscay and Gulf of Lion could not be fully explained by lower trophic levels models, suggesting a decrease in zooplankton quality as a possible driver.

Linking growth patterns to sea temperature and oxygen levels across European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) populations

Donna Dimarchopoulou et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the growth patterns of European sardine are influenced by sea temperature and dissolved oxygen, with colder waters and higher oxygen levels promoting larger body size. However, in the context of climate change, this variability in relation to temperature and oxygen may have adverse effects on fish biological characteristics.
