Microplastic Prevalence in Epipelagic Layer: Evidence from Epipelagic Inhabiting Prawns of North-West Arabian Sea

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023
The escalating global microplastic (MP) pollution severely threatens marine life due to insufficient waste management and widespread single-use plastic. This study focuses on assessing MP contamination in commercial prawns from Gujarat State, India.

Metabolism of epipelagic tropical ctenophores

Marine Biology, 1986
Measurements of respiration and excretion at 25°C were made for five species of ctenophores collected during five cruises to the Bahamas (1982–1984). The mean element-specific respiration and ammonium excretion rates of freshly collected specimens of all species ranged from 4 to 16% d-1, the mean atomic O:N ratios were 10 to 16, and ammonium averaged ...

Latitudinal transition of epipelagic mesozooplankton in the northwestern Pacific in winter

Marine Environmental Research, 2023
The northwestern Pacific (NWP) is a hotspot of marine biodiversity study, and zooplankton is a crucial secondary producer in the marine ecosystem. It is of utmost importance to do extensive study on the distribution of zooplankton community in the NWP. The distribution of epipelagic zooplankton community in the 143-146°E section between the equator and

Epipelagic siphonophores off the east coast of South Africa

African Journal of Marine Science, 2005
This work represents the first systematic analysis of the common Siphonophora from the Agulhas Current (South-West Indian Ocean). A total of 56 species of siphonophores was collected from a series of three largely epipelagic cruises between Algoa Bay and the Tugela River along the east coast of South Africa. Although no readily identifiable Cystonectae

Predation, cover, and convergent evolution in epipelagic oceans

Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology, 1995
The factor of most importance to the structure of epipelagic oceanic communities is the absence of cover and the inability to hide from predators in surface waters during the day (Elton, 1939). Visual predation in an environment devoid of cover has resulted in convergent evolution into only six modal adaptive patterns.

The visual pigments of epipelagic and rocky-shore fishes

Vision Research, 1964
Abstract Visual pigments of eleven species of marine teleost fishes have been studied in aqueous digitonin extracts of dark-adapted retinae. Five species that occur in habitats along rocky coasts have “rhodopsins” with λ max near 500 mμ. In six epipelagic species the visual pigments are also “rhodopsins”, but there is a trend for λ max to be at

A Synthesis of Growth Rates in Marine Epipelagic Invertebrate Zooplankton

2003
We present the most extensive study to date of globally compiled and analysed weight-specific growth rates in marine epi-pelagic invertebrate metazoan zooplankton. Using specified selection criteria, we analyse growth rates from a variety of zooplanktonic taxa, including both holo- and mero-planktonic forms, from over 110 published studies.
