Trophic interactions of meso- and macrozooplankton and fish in the Iceland Sea as evaluated by fatty acid and stable isotope analysis [PDF]
A trophic study was carried out in August of 2007 and 2008 on the pelagic ecosystem in the Subarctic Iceland Sea. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes and fatty acid biomarkers were used to study trophic linkages and the trophic ecology of the most ...

Distribution ranges of cephalopods are expanding worldwide and their abundances are increasing due to ocean warming. Recently, the broadtail shortfin squid Illex coindetii (Ommastrephidae) expanded into the North Sea where it established a successful spawning stock beside the resident veined squid Loligo forbesii (Loliginidae). Stomach content analysis

Studies on Chaetognatha of the Indian EEZ [PDF]
The Phylum Chaetognatha, the members of which are popularly known as 'arrow worms'is a holoplanklonic group found in all the oceans in the epi. mesa and bathypelagic zones.

A Large Cambrian Chaetognath with Supernumerary Grasping Spines [PDF]
Chaetognaths (arrow worms) are a separate phylum (Chaetognatha) of small carnivorous animals, dominantly pelagic, and a major component of today's plankton [1, 2]. The position of Chaetognatha among metazoan phyla remains equivocal-neither morphological nor molecular data provide definitive evidence [3]. Originating early in the Cambrian period [4], if

Extreme Mitogenomic Variation in Natural Populations of Chaetognaths [PDF]
The extent of within-species genetic variation across the diversity of animal life is an underexplored problem in ecology and evolution. Although neutral genetic variation should scale positively with population size, mitochondrial diversity levels are believed to show little variation across animal species.

Abstract Although gelatinous zooplankton are key members of marine ecosystems and food webs, their trophic ecology is poorly described across the deep pelagic. We used stable carbon (bulk tissue) and nitrogen (bulk tissue and amino acid) isotope analysis to estimate the trophic positions (TPs) of abundant gelatinous zooplankton (chaetognaths ...

Studies on chaetognaths off Ubatuba region, Brazil: II. Feeding habits
The diet of chaetognath species were studied by examining the gut contents of 9466 specimens collected off Ubatuba region, São Paulo State. The greatest proportion of chaetognaths (7119 individuals) showed their gut contents empty. Copepods, mollusc eggs,

Abundance, condition, and diet of juvenile Pacific ocean perch (Sebastes alutus) in the Aleutian Islands [PDF]
T he relative value of pelagic habitat for three size classes of juvenile Pacific ocean perch (Sebastes alutus) was investigated by comparing their abundance and condition in two areas of the Aleutian Islands. Diet, zooplankton biomass, and water column

Food web modifications shifted the functional structure of zooplankton
Abstract The North Sea has been undergoing long‐term transformations driven by shifts in human activities and climate change, which have jointly reshaped the composition of marine communities. Despite existing studies, the functional mechanisms driving community changes remain poorly understood.
