Accelerometry of Seabream in a Sea-Cage: Is Acceleration a Good Proxy for Activity?
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02-22)
Activity assessment of individual fish in a sea-cage could provide valuable insights into the behavior, but also physiological well-being and resilience, of the fish population in the cage. Acceleration ...
Predicting the success of an invader: Niche shift versus niche conservatism
(Wiley Open Access, 2019-10-25)
