Fatty Acids and Stomach Contents Reveal Dietary Overlaps of Two Prospering Squid Species in the North Sea

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
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).

Transitions in the morphological features, habitat use, and diet of young-of-the-year goosefish (Lophius americanus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This study was designed to improve our understanding of transitions in the early life history and the distribution, habitat use, and diets for young-of-the-year (YOY) goosefish (Lophius americanus) and, as a result, their role in northeastern U.S ...

Daily Variations in the Abundance of Zooplankton in the Coastal Waters of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica During Summer 1983-'84 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
The Antarctic summer which lasts for a short period brings in cyclical changes in the sea with regard to production at the various levels. The initial change in this dynamic environment is triggered off by the primary producers with the onset 01 long and

Ocean-Scale Monitoring of Mesozooplankton on Atlantic Meridional Transect 21 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
An in-flow instrument for imaging and identifying meso-zooplankton from a ship’s clean pumped sea water supply, from 6m, is described. Meso-zooplankton abundance was measured continuously, from 38 transects and 36 net hauls (0 - 200m), on a 13,500 km ...

Careful with understudied phyla: The case of chaetognath

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background A recent study by Barthélémy et al. described a set of ribosomal protein (RP) genes extracted from a collection of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of the chaetognath (arrow worm) Spadella cephaloptera.

Using stable isotopes to describe the trophic structure of gelatinous zooplankton across the deep pelagic

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 12, Page 3634-3649, December 2025.
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 ...

Food web modifications shifted the functional structure of zooplankton

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 12, Page 3983-3997, December 2025.
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.

Food habits and dietary variability of pelagic nekton off Oregon and Washington, 1979-1984 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
The food habits of 20 species of pelagic nekton were investigated from collections made with small-mesh purse seines from 1979-84 off Washington and Oregon. Four species (spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias; soupfin shark, Galeorhinus zyopterus; blue shark,

Mitochondrial genomes of four pelagic Chaetognaths Zonosagitta bedoti, Zonosagitta pulchra, Ferosagitta robusta, and Aidanosagitta regularis and the phylogenetic relationships on Sagittiae

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Chaetognaths possess simplified body plan that puzzled their morphological phylogenetic classification. Three complete mitochondrial genomes were determined for Zonosagitta bedoti, Z.

Winter Diets of Pacific Salmon in the North Pacific

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 118-138, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The winter feeding ecology of Pacific salmon and Steelhead trout in the North Pacific Ocean was investigated, with a focus on species‐specific diets and interannual and spatial variability in diet composition. We used results from the 2022 International Year of the Salmon Pan‐Pacific Expedition to examine diet composition across the North ...
