Summary: Evaluating the ecological effects of offshore wind farm expansion is crucial for understanding socio-ecological trade-offs and informing area-based management. However, little is known about the impact on demersal fish. This study found that wind turbine piles with scour protection can serve as feeding grounds and spawning areas for Atlantic cod, suggesting positive effects on local cod populations and contributing to the urgently needed observational evidence.

Summary: The study evaluates the effects of climate change dynamics on mercury temporal trends in Northeast Arctic cod using long-term ocean temperature, sea ice extent, and mercury concentration data. The findings suggest that despite significant changes in temperature and sea ice extent, mercury bioaccumulation in Northeast Arctic cod did not show major increases or decreases. This highlights the complex and context-specific nature of mercury bioaccumulation and its relationship with climate change.

Summary: This study investigated the spatiotemporal variability of juvenile Atlantic cod growth and survival using Barents Sea bottom survey data, finding that the location within the Barents Sea where age-1 cod are distributed affects their growth and survival. Year-classes in the western Barents Sea had higher mortality but faster growth compared to those distributed farther east, indicating a significant role of distribution in the survival and growth of age-1 cod.

Summary: Understanding individual growth in commercially exploited fish populations is crucial for stock assessment and fisheries management. Traditional methods for estimating fish growth have limitations, while bioenergetic modeling provides an alternative approach that can explain the effects of environmental changes on growth. A bioenergetic model for Western Baltic cod was developed, which successfully reproduced seasonal growth patterns and highlighted the potential negative impact of climate change on cod growth.

Summary: The tagging-induced mortality experiments on Baltic cod showed that tagging did not have a significant effect on mortality, with mortality mainly attributed to capture and handling procedures. There was a negative relationship between fish length and mortality, and significant variations in mortality were observed between different tagging sites.

Summary: Larval cod require live prey for growth and survival, and prey concentration and feeding frequency are important factors. Water exchange rates and current also influence prey resident time and larval behavior. High water current induces stress and cortisol levels, while an intermediate rearing protocol leads to better growth and survival.

Summary: This study compared population characteristics and growth rates of Atlantic cod from different sites and time periods in northern Norway. The cod from pre-20th century were older and larger, while the modern cod were smaller in size. The increase in fishing activity resulted in a decrease in age distributions and longevity of the northeast Arctic cod population.

Summary: Until recently, it was believed that MHC genes and their associated immune components had been conserved since their evolutionary emergence. However, sequencing of the Atlantic cod genome revealed a loss of MHC class II genes and an extreme expansion of MHC class I genes. These findings suggest a possible functional shift from MHC class II to MHC class I.

Summary: The goal of this study was to compare a newly developed eDNA approach with bottom trawl fisheries catches for the detection and quantification of Atlantic cod in the North and Baltic Seas. The results showed the potential of eDNA analyses for quantitative assessments of commercial fish stocks in the open ocean, but further comparative analyses are needed to verify its performance under different oceanographic conditions.

Summary: In this study, polyethylene (PE) microplastics were added to Atlantic cod feeds at 1%, either in their original form or spiked with PCB-126. After a 4-week period, cod fed spiked PE showed a higher concentration of PCB-126 in liver and muscle samples compared to control and fish ingesting virgin PE. The expression of hepatic cyp1a was higher in cod fed spiked PE, indicating an accumulation of PCB-126 in the liver. Moreover, both spiked PE and virgin PE had an effect on the skin, suggesting a reduced skin barrier in fish fed a diet containing PE.

Summary: This paper develops a method for nodal voltage estimation in unbalanced radial low-voltage grids using a data-driven grey-box modeling approach. The method relies on experimental data from a real-world LV grid in Denmark and uses data input from only one measuring device per feeder. The prediction results show high accuracy at root mean squared errors (RMSEs) of 0.002-0.0004 p.u. and a short computation time that meets requirements for practical, real-time monitoring of distribution system operator (DSO) grids.

Summary: Phago-mixotrophy, the combination of photoautotrophy and phagotrophy, is gaining attention in the study of mixoplankton. Many protistan plankton species engage in phago-mixotrophy to obtain nutrients, but our understanding of mixoplankton lags behind zooplankton and phytoplankton. Five research directions are proposed to advance the field: evolution, traits and trade-offs, biogeography, biogeochemistry and trophic transfer, and in situ methods.

Summary: In many applications, it is important to determine the heat demand of cabinets, but measuring the mass flow through each cabinet is expensive and not feasible in large-scale deployments. Therefore, it is crucial to estimate the valve sizes from monitoring data. The present paper proposes a novel method for estimating cabinet evaporator valve constants using time series data and shows that an Auto-Regressive Moving Average model with eXogenous variables effectively eliminates auto-correlation and provides more accurate estimates.

Summary: To achieve the carbon emission reduction goals in line with the Paris agreement, it is crucial to plan resilient and sustainable energy systems. This study focuses on bridging the gap between building occupants and smart-city energy networks to improve urban energy planning. The impact of user behavior on energy planning is assessed through a stochastic energy community sizing and operation problem, and the results reveal that occupant behavior is a significant factor affecting energy community planning. This research highlights the importance of connecting occupants to cities for more resilient and efficient urban energy strategies.

Summary: This article introduces a new method for estimating the thermal properties of buildings, taking into account the stochastic human effect on energy consumption. By combining the energy signature method with a hidden state that describes human interactions, the model accuracy is improved and bias is reduced. The demonstration case showed that human interactions increase the total heat loss of the building.

However, this hybridization seemingly had no lasting effect on the continuous separation and genetic differentiation between the two unique Baltic cod stocks.

Summary: Theory predicts that fish community biomass will decline with increasing temperature due to higher metabolic losses. However, whether these predictions explain observed macroecological patterns in fish community biomass is unknown. This study tests these predictions and finds that temperature is the main driver of cross-regional variation in fish community biomass.
