Zooplankton in the temperate ocean display strong ties to pico‐plankton and seasonally variable trophic roles

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Trophic connections between the food web base and zooplankton affect the structure of marine food webs and fluxes to higher predators. The food that zooplankton consume shifts in response to prey resources, but specific zooplankton trophic sources remain unresolved over the dynamic seasonal cycle for many species.

Bacterial degradation of ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi organic matter

mSystems
Blooms of gelatinous zooplankton, an important source of protein-rich biomass in coastal waters, often collapse rapidly, releasing large amounts of labile detrital organic matter (OM) into the surrounding water.

Dietary variations in three co-occurring rockfish species off the Pacific Northwest during anomalous oceanographic events in 1998 and 1999 [PDF]

, 2009
Stomach samples from three rockfish species, yellowtail (Sebastes f lavidus), widow (S. entomelas), and canary (S. pinniger) rockfish, seasonally collected off the Pacific Northwest in 1998 and 1999, provided quantitative information on the food habits ...

Dynamic Sinking and Surface‐Area Based Decay Modeling Reduce Estimates of Gelatinous Zooplankton‐Mediated Carbon Export to the Deep Sea

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Gelatinous zooplankton (GZ) have been proposed as a potentially important but largely overlooked contributor to the biological carbon pump. However, estimates of GZ‐derived carbon transfer efficiency to the ocean floor reflect uncertainties in key parameters that govern carbon export, leading to contrasting interpretations of the role of GZ in

Marine Snow Dynamics in the NE Gulf of Mexico: Particle Abundance, Characteristics, and Impacts on Deepwater Horizon Oil Sedimentation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill in the NE Gulf of Mexico in 2010 was the largest accidental spill globally. During and after the spill, oil was incorporated into marine snow (marine‐oil‐snow or MOS) and sedimented to the seafloor, accounting for ∼21% of the oil released.

The Large Jellyfish Rhizostoma luteum as Sustainable a Resource for Antioxidant Properties, Nutraceutical Value and Biomedical Applications

Marine Drugs, 2018
Jellyfish is a compartment in the marine food web that often achieves high increases of biomass and that it is starting to be explored for several human potential uses. In this paper, a recently rediscovered large jellyfish, Rhizostoma luteum, is studied

Integrating functional diversity, food web processes, and biogeochemical carbon fluxes into a conceptual approach for modeling the upper ocean in a high-CO2 world [PDF]

, 2005
Marine food webs influence climate by channeling carbon below the permanent pycnocline, where it can be sequestered. Because most of the organic matter exported from the euphotic zone is remineralized within the "upper ocean" (i.e., the water column ...
