Evaluating Prey Availability for the Rice's Whale (Balaenoptera ricei) Based on Environmental DNA

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
To characterize the prey community of the critically endangered Rice's whale, we employed environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding in its core habitat. Our multi‐marker approach detected significantly greater fish biodiversity than concurrent trawl surveys and revealed a higher prevalence of key prey taxa.

The Meso- and Bathypelagic Fishes in a Large Submarine Canyon: Assemblage Structure of the Principal Species in the Gully Marine Protected Area

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Midwater trawl surveys were conducted during 2007–10 at meso- and bathypelagic depths in and near The Gully, a large submarine canyon off Nova Scotia that is also a Marine Protected Area.

Trophic model of the coastal fisheries ecosystem of the southwest coast of India [PDF]

The Ecopath approach and software were used to construct a trophic model of the coastal fisheries ecosystem of the southwest (SW) coast of India. The model consisted of 11 ecological groups and used estimated landings from all areas along the southwest ...

Observing biogeochemical cycles at global scales with profiling floats and gliders: prospects for a global array [PDF]

, 2009
Chemical and biological sensor technologies have advanced rapidly in the past five years. Sensors that require low power and operate for multiple years are now available for oxygen, nitrate, and a variety of bio-optical properties that serve as proxies ...

Frequency of Microplastics in Mesopelagic Fishes from the Northwest Atlantic

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Microplastics are a ubiquitous pollutant in our seas today and are known to have detrimental effects on a variety of organisms. Over the past decade numerous studies have documented microplastic ingestion by marine species with more recent investigations

Revealing the Physiological Patterns of Dinoflagellates in North‐Eastern Adriatic Phytoplankton

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Using metatranscriptomics, we have described the annual taxonomic and functional succession of the phytoplankton community in the north‐eastern Adriatic Sea, taking into account the effects of environmental factors on succession. The results obtained in this way represent the first comprehensive physiological characterisation of the phytoplankton ...

First record of Diaphus rafinesquii (Cocco, 1838) (Myctophidae) in the Norwegian Sea

Fauna Norvegica, 2013
The myctophid Diaphus rafinesquii is endemic in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean and was for the first time found in the Norwegian Sea. The specimen was captured off northern Norway at about 71° N, representing the northernmost record so far ...

Metabarcoding and morphological analysis of diets of mesopelagic fishes in the NW Atlantic Slope Water

Frontiers in Marine Science
DNA metabarcoding and morphological taxonomic (microscopic) analysis of the gut contents was used to examine diet diversity of seven species of fishes collected from mesopelagic depths (200-1000 m) in the NW Atlantic Ocean Slope Water during Summer 2018 ...

Attenuation of particulate organic carbon flux in the Scotia Sea, Southern Ocean, is controlled by zooplankton fecal pellets [PDF]

, 2015
The Southern Ocean (SO) is an important CO2 reservoir, some of which enters via the production, sinking and remineralization of organic matter. Recent work suggests the fraction of production that sinks is inversely related to production in the SO, a ...
