Echinodermata is one of the associated biota that has an important role in seagrass ecosystems. If one of the 5 classes of the Echinodermata Phylum experiences physical, chemical, biological and anthropogenic impacts or pressures, then the population and

ABSTRACT Trammel nets are used with extended soaking times to increase the catching efficiency for demersal fish in commercial fishing. Long soaking time causes deterioration or damage to species caught in the first days. Effects of soaking time were investigated with 36‐mm, 42‐mm, and 46‐mm mesh sizes soaked over 1, 3, 5, and 7 days on target, non ...

During a series of cruises aboard the R/V “El Puma” aimed at collecting the deep-water benthic and pelagic fauna off the Pacific coast of Mexico, in the eastern Pacific, samples of Asteroidea were collected below 500 m depth (587-1 526 m). A total of 335

Biological surveys reveal unexpectedly high faunal diversity at Nankai Trough methane seeps
Abstract Cold seeps are chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems powered by microbial primary production that support diverse and specialized faunal assemblages in the deep sea. Despite Nankai Trough in Japan being a geologically active margin hosting numerous seeps, much of the faunal diversity remains undocumented.

Xyloplax is a genus of three species of sea stars previously found only on sunken wood in the deep ocean. Their circular and petaloid bodies, which lend them their common name “sea daisy”, and their presumed exclusive diet of wood make them an unusual ...

Community composition of epibenthic megafauna on the West Greenland Shelf [PDF]
Epibenthic organisms are a critical component of the marine environment, functioning as ecosystem engineers, habitat and food for other organisms. Our knowledge of the diversity, complexity and sensitivities of these habitats is limited, particularly at ...

ABSTRACT Aim This study characterises benthic habitats and associated biodiversity in three Japanese subduction trenches, and explores the effects of trench‐specific differences in large‐scale seismic events, disturbance and productivity regimes on habitat structure and assemblage composition.

The core–periphery hypothesis (CPH) predicts that genetic diversity is greatest at the centre and lowest at the edges of a species' distribution because genetic diversity is a function of a species' abundance, which is also expected to be greatest at the centre and lowest at the edges of the distribution. Variants of the CPH include the ‘Ramped North' (

ABSTRACT Aim Tropical coral reefs are at the forefront of the current triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. While geographic remoteness is considered to shield reefs from local human pressures, and potentially aid in combating adverse climate change impacts, recent evidence from shallow reefs (0–30 m) to support ...

Checklist of the Marine Fauna and Flora Reported from the Region of Aransas Pass, Texas [PDF]
This checklist is of preliminary form with the hope that this will be a beginning for a more complete annotated list of the fauna and flora of this region. In many cases, this list is quite obviously incomplete, such as the algae, for which there are
