Delayed onset of ocean acidification in the Gulf of Maine [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The Gulf of Maine holds significant ecological and economic value for fisheries and communities in north-eastern North America. However, there is apprehension regarding its vulnerability to the effects of increasing atmospheric CO2.

Low‐coverage whole‐genome sequencing reveals molecular markers for spawning season and sex identification in Gulf of Maine Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua, Linnaeus 1758) [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua, Linnaeus 1758) in the western Gulf of Maine are managed as a single stock despite several lines of evidence supporting two spawning groups (spring and winter) that overlap spatially, while exhibiting seasonal spawning ...

Highly localized divergence within supergenes in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) within the Gulf of Maine [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), is known to vary genetically across the North Atlantic, Greenland, and Newfoundland. This genetic variation occurs both spatially and temporally through decades of heavy fishing, and is concentrated in three ...

Planktonic microbes in the Gulf of Maine area. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2011
In the Gulf of Maine area (GoMA), as elsewhere in the ocean, the organisms of greatest numerical abundance are microbes. Viruses in GoMA are largely cyanophages and bacteriophages, including podoviruses which lack tails. There is also evidence of Mimivirus and Chlorovirus in the metagenome. Bacteria in GoMA comprise the dominant SAR11 phylotype cluster,

Changes in the distribution of atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in the Gulf of Maine 1979-2005. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The Gulf of Maine, NW Atlantic Ocean, is a productive, seasonal foraging ground for Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), but commercial landings of adult size classes were up to 40% below the allocated total allowable catch between 2004 to 2008 for ...

Mercury sources and fate in the Gulf of Maine. [PDF]

Environ Res, 2012
Most human exposure to mercury (Hg) in the United States is from consuming marine fish and shellfish. The Gulf of Maine is a complex marine ecosystem comprising twelve physioregions, including the Bay of Fundy, coastal shelf areas and deeper basins that contain highly productive fishing grounds.

Seasonal trophic controls drive population variability in a foundational marine copepod [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Understanding the trophic drivers of zooplankton population variability is critical for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change. In the Gulf of Maine, the copepod Calanus finmarchicus is a foundational species linking primary producers to higher

The Surprising Oceanography of the Gulf of Maine

Maine Policy Review, 2023
The oceanography of the Gulf of Maine has changed in ways that have not been seen previously but that are likely to be more common in the future–changes like extreme rapid warming and declines in primary productivity. The changing oceanography has underpinned surprising losses in commercial stocks and endangered species.

Elemental fingerprinting of mussel shells to predict population sources and redistribution potential in the Gulf of Maine. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
As the climate warms, species that cannot tolerate changing conditions will only persist if they undergo range shifts. Redistribution ability may be particularly variable for benthic marine species that disperse as pelagic larvae in ocean currents.
