Mesozooplankton and Micronekton Active Carbon Transport in Contrasting Eddies [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Mesozooplankton (June 2015 and September 2017) and micronekton (September 2017) were sampled along the eastern coast of Australia. Depth stratified mesozooplankton and micronekton were collected using a Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental ...

Mesopelagic Mesozooplankton and Micronekton Database [PDF]
Scientific DataThe Mesopelagic Mesozooplankton and Micronekton Database (MMMD) compiles quantitative data on the distribution and density of mesopelagic (200–1000 m) mesozooplankton and micronekton (0.2–20 mm and 20–200 mm) species, using 258 published and unpublished ...

Zooplankton and Micronekton Active Flux Across the Tropical and Subtropical Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Quantification of the actual amount of carbon export to the mesopelagic layer by both zooplankton and micronekton is at present a gap in the knowledge of the biological pump.

Comparative toxicity of hydrocarbons for evaluation of Lysmata boggessi as an experimental proxy for deep-water column micronekton [PDF]
Toxicology Reports, 2022 The potential impacts of sub-surface hydrocarbon plumes to deep-water column micronekton are an important consideration in a more complete understanding of ecosystem effects resulting from deep-sea oil spills.

A critical time window for organismal interactions in a pelagic ecosystem. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 To measure organismal coherence in a pelagic ecosystem, we used moored sensors to describe the vertical dynamics of each step in the food chain in shelf waters off the west shore of Oahu, Hawaii.
