Hiding in numbers or the benefit of travelling with others
The Norwegian coast is a spawning hot spot for several highly valuable fishes. After hatching, the young fish drift, largely together, toward the Barents Sea. During this drifting period, they need to feed and are experiencing predation. In a paper published in Marine Ecology Progress Series (Ferreira et al. 2024) we explore the benefits and disadvantages of drifting together with other larvae.

After a collapse: long-term effects of biomass reduction
The worldwide human footprint is increasingly evident. Over the decades, many species have collapsed or are collapsing with only some recovering. A key question is what happens to these populations after the collapse. In a study published in Scientific Reports (Durant et al 2024), we test whether the effect on fish populations from overfishing, climate, and survival of young fish remains the same after a collapse.
