Abstract Between 9 June and 6 July 2023 a SeaExplorer glider equipped with an Underwater Vision Profiler (UVP6), surveyed frontal structures between a cyclonic and two anticyclonic eddies in the Northeast Atlantic as part of the APERO cruise (Assessing marine biogenic matter Production, Export and Remineralization: from the surface to the dark Ocean ...

Light and Vision in the Deep-Sea Benthos: I. Bioluminescence at 500-1000 m Depth in the Bahamian Islands [PDF]
Bioluminescence is common and well studied in mesopelagic species. However, the extent of bioluminescence in benthic sites of similar depths is far less studied, although the relatively large eyes of benthic fish, crustaceans and cephalopods at bathyal ...

ABSTRACT Fjords are deep‐water estuaries that support a wide range of marine habitats for pelagic fish. Yet, knowledge gaps in fish distribution and habitat use limit the implementation of efficient marine conservation strategies within fjords. Using five British Columbia fjords as a case study, we demonstrated that eDNA metabarcoding combined with ...

Attenuation of sinking particulate organic carbon flux through the mesopelagic ocean [PDF]
The biological carbon pump, which transports particulate organic carbon (POC) from the surface to the deep ocean, plays an important role in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. We know very little about geographical variability in

ABSTRACT Aim Environmental heterogeneity shapes species diversity by creating ecological niches (habitat heterogeneity hypothesis). Yet its role in driving behavioural diversity within species remains only partially understood. Behavioural diversity enhances a population's ability to exploit ecological niches and adapt to environmental change, making ...

The potential role of Antarctic krill faecal pellets in efficient carbon export at the marginal ice zone of the South Orkney Islands in spring [PDF]
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) play a central role in the food web of the Southern Ocean, forming a link between primary production and large predators.

Modeling micronekton diel vertical migration contribution to carbon export in the mesopelagic zone
Micronekton is a diverse group assemblage of marine animals, described as active swimmers ranging from 2 to 20 cm. Micronekton organisms perform diel vertical migrations, feeding on nutrient-rich surface waters during the night and migrate several hundred meters at sunrise to deep waters, where they digest their food, generating an active transport of ...

Temporal variability of dissolved iron species in the mesopelagic zone at Ocean Station PAPA
Abstract Deposition of atmospheric aerosols to the surface ocean is considered an important mechanism for the supply of iron (Fe) to remote ocean regions, but direct observations of the oceanic response to aerosol deposition are sparse. In the high nutrient, low chlorophyll (HNLC) subarctic Pacific Ocean we observed a dissolved Fe and Fe(II) anomaly ...

ABSTRACT Lepidocybium flavobrunneum [Smith, 1843], commonly known as escolar, is a large pelagic species, important for global and local fisheries, particularly in the southwestern South Atlantic Ocean (SWAO), where it constitutes a significant portion of the catch.
