Capelin has been growing at a faster rate in the last decade, after its shift towards Greenland waters during the feeding season. #MFRI rdcu.be/egnB1 https://rdcu.be/egnB104 Apr 2025 11:23 +0000at://did:plc:42hrdcblkzpayl24g6ips3rb/app.bsky.feed.post/3llycimzkt22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/christophe-p71.bsky.social/post/3lgdhyumdws2uSecond paper produced by Charlotte Matthews during her Master. Very little is known about mesopelagic fish biology.
