Copepod‐associated microbial biogeography in the epipelagic ocean

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters
Abstract Zooplankton‐microbial interactions play crucial roles in epipelagic ecosystem functions. The distinct west‐to‐east gradients and complex circulation patterns in the Mediterranean Sea, combined with the ubiquity of pelagic copepods, provide an ideal model to study the ecological processes driving host‐associated microbial ...

Cetaceans and sea turtles in the northern region of the Mediterranean Cetacean Migration Corridor: abundance and multi-model habitat suitability analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
The Mediterranean Cetacean Migration Corridor is one of the largest marine protected areas in the Mediterranean Sea. Nevertheless, little is known about the abundance and distribution of cetaceans and sea turtles in the area.

Productivity regime and phytoplankton size structure in the Arabian Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The productivity regime and size structure of phytoplankton are described for three different epipelagic systems in the Arabian Sea during the inter-monsoon period in spring 1987: (1) the coast of Oman; (2) the central Arabian Sea; and (3) the shelf off ...

Larval Genomics as a Viable, Fisheries‐Independent Tool for Investigating Population Structure in Tropical Pacific Tunas

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 8, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how dispersal, life history, and environmental variability shape genetic connectivity in the open ocean remains a central challenge in evolutionary biology. Highly migratory marine predators like tunas have traditionally been considered genetically homogeneous across ocean basins, yet emerging genomic evidence suggests that ...

Assessing the Time of Emergence of Marine Ecosystems From Global to Local Scales Using IPSL‐CM6A‐LR/APECOSM Climate‐To‐Fish Ensemble Simulations

open access: yesEarth's Future
Climate change is anticipated to considerably reduce global marine fish biomass, driving marine ecosystems into unprecedented states with no historical analogs.

Growth and maturity of salmon sharks (Lamna ditropis) in the eastern and western North Pacific, and comments on back-calculation methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Age and growth estimates for salmon sharks (Lamna ditropis) in the eastern North Pacific were derived from 182 vertebral centra collected from sharks ranging in length from 62.2 to 213.4 cm pre-caudal length (PCL) and compared to previously published age

Both respiration and photosynthesis determine the scaling of plankton metabolism in the oligotrophic ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Despite its importance to ocean–climate interactions, the metabolic state of the oligotrophic ocean has remained controversial for >15 years. Positions in the debate are that it is either hetero- or autotrophic, which suggests either substantial ...

Living Near the Surface: Dive Behavior of Sei Whales (Balaenoptera borealis) in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the diving behavior of baleen whales in tropical breeding areas is essential for evaluating both ecological functions and anthropogenic threats. In this study, we combined satellite transmitters and generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs) to investigate the dive behavior of sei whales (Balaenoptera borealis) in Santos Basin (SB)

Population characteristics and biology of striped marlin, Tetrapturus audax in the New Zealand fishery : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Physiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Striped marlin (Tetrapturus audax) are apex predators in the pelagic ecosystem and are seasonally abundant in the off-shore waters of New Zealand during December through May.

The source‐to‐sea nexus between water and ocean law: An international and EU perspective

open access: yesReview of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 210-224, April 2026.
Abstract The source‐to‐sea (S2S) approach provides a systemic framework for analysing the governance of naturally interconnected freshwater and marine ecosystems. This paper examines the extent to which the S2S approach is reflected in key international and EU water and ocean law instruments, as well as the legal and governance implications of said ...
