Movements, Abundance, Age Composition and Growth of Bass, Dicentrarchus Labrax, in the Severn Estuary and Inner Bristol Channel
The movements, abundance, age composition and growth of bass, Dicentrarchus labrax (L.), in the Severn Estuary and inner Bristol Channel have been described from regular samples offish taken from power-station intake screens between 1972 and 1977. Bass began to move into the estuary during late August or September and reached peak abundance between September and early November. The tendency for...
متن کاملSea level rise in the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel and impacts of a Severn Barrage
Many research projects in recent years have focused on marine renewable energy devices and structures due to the growing interest in marine renewable energy. These devices and structures have very different life spans. Schemes such as the Severn Barrage in the UK, as originally proposed by the Severn Tidal Power Group (STPG), would be the largest tidal renewable energy generation project in the...
متن کاملAge Composition, Growth, Movements, Meristics and Parasites of the Whiting, Merlangius Merlangus, in the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel
Samples collected from power station intake screens between 1972 and 1977 have been used to study aspects of the biology of the whiting in the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel. 0+ whiting generally started appearing in the inner estuary in July, at which time their standard length was at least 38 mm. Their numbers peaked in October and subsequently declined particularly rapidly during the wet...
متن کاملBirds of the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel: their current status and key environmental issues.
The Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel encompass a number of designated sites supporting populations of waterbirds and seabirds that are of national or international importance, including the Severn Estuary and Burry Inlet Special Protection Areas (SPAs)/Ramsar Sites and Carmarthen Bay, the UK's first marine SPA. Here, we provide an overview of the present numbers and trends of the waterbirds a...
متن کاملSeasonal, Annual and Regional Variations in Ichthyofaunal Composition in the Inner Severn Estuary and Inner Bristol Channel
Monthly samples of fish from the intake screens of power stations at Oldbury and Berkeley in the inner Severn Estuary and Hinkley Point in the inner Bristol Channel, were used to analyse the community structures of the ichthyofauna in these regions. Marine species that use the estuary as a nursery area (marine estuarine-opportunists) were very abundant in the shallow inshore waters at Oldbury. ...
