The ECOPATH II microcomputer software is presented as an approach for balancing ecosystem models. It includes (i) routines for balancing the flow in a steady-state ecosystem from estimation of a missing parameter for all groups in the system, (ij) routines for estimating network flow indices, and (iii) miscellaneous routines for deriving additional indices such as food selection indices and omn...

The natural abundances of the stable isotopes of lead are used to identify natural and industrial sources of lead in the coastal waters of British Columbia, Canada. The (206)Pb/(207)Pb ratios, used to characterize the lead source, had values of approximately 1.24 for coastal oceanic water, approximately 1.22 for fjord waters receiving lead from mine tailings, and approximately 1.163 for waters ...

Based on bottom trawl catches during the years 2002–2017, we present first large-scale baseline spatial distribution and abundance of ice cod Arctogadus glacialis (Peters, 1874) in fjords shelf Northeast Greenland (latitudes 70 °N–78 °N). Ice peaked secluded sill such as Bessel Fjord, Brede Clavering Ø fjord system Kong Oscar Fjord compared to offshore shelf. The mean biomass was estimated 3.9 ...

Abstract. The northern sector of the Greenland Ice Sheet is considered to be particularly susceptible ice mass loss arising from increased glacier discharge in coming decades. However, past extent and dynamics outlet glaciers this region, hence their vulnerability climate change, are poorly documented. In summer 2019, Swedish icebreaker Oden entered previously unchartered waters Sherard Osborn ...

Macroepibenthic communities associated with the hydrocoral Errina antarctica from the Chilean fjord region: Does bathymetry influence community structure? Statutory declaration I declare that I have authored this thesis independently, that I have not used other than the declared sources, especially no internet-sources not listed in the list of literature, and that I have explicitly marked all m...

Fjord circulation modulates the connection between marine-terminating glaciers and ocean currents offshore. These fjords exhibit both overturning horizontal recirculations, which are driven by water mass transformation at head of fjord via subglacial discharge plumes distributed meltwater plumes. However, little is known about how various characteristics influence interaction 3D glacial melt. I...

BACKGROUND Neoplasia may cause hypoglycemia in different species including the horse, but hypoglycemia has not previously been reported in the horse associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumours. CASE PRESENTATION A case of a gastrointestinal stromal tumour in a Fjord pony with severe recurrent hypoglycemia is presented. The mechanism causing the hypoglycemia was not established. CONCLUS...

Abstract Up to 30% of the current tidewater mass loss in Svalbard corresponds frontal ablation through submarine melting and calving. We developed two-dimensional (2-D) glacier–line–plume glacier–fjord circulation coupled models, both including subglacial discharge, iceberg calving, simulate Hansbreen–Hansbukta system, SW Svalbard. ran models for 20 weeks, throughout April–August 2010, using di...
