Trophic structure of micronekton in the Northwest Pacific Ocean
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 IntroductionStable isotope analysis has been widely used in the study of the trophic structure of marine micronekton in recent years.MethodsIn this study, the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope values of fish, cephalopod, shrimp and zooplankton species ...

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 ...

Biogeography of Micronekton Assemblages in the Natural Park of the Coral Sea [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Mesopelagic resources are central to the ecosystem but remain poorly studied mainly due to the lack of observations. This paper investigates the assemblages of micronekton organisms and their habitat in the Natural Park of the Coral Sea around New ...

Characterizing a Foraging Hotspot for Short-Finned Pilot Whales and Blainville's Beaked Whales Located off the West Side of Hawai'i Island by Using Tagging and Oceanographic Data. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Satellite tagging data for short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) and Blainville's beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) were used to identify core insular foraging regions off the Kona (west) Coast of Hawai'i Island.

Influence of oceanic conditions in the energy transfer efficiency estimation of a micronekton model [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2020 Micronekton – small marine pelagic organisms around 1–10 cm in size – are a key component of the ocean ecosystem, as they constitute the main source of forage for all larger predators.

The Hunger Games: Stable Isotopes Indicate Winter Inter-Guild Competition for Resources by Marine Meso-Predators in the Sub-Arctic North Pacific. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThere is high niche overlap and potential for competition between Pacific salmon and non‐salmonid meso‐predators in the open ocean during winter. Food web structure and the level of niche overlap varied spatially and depending on the species. The biomass of the competitor species may exceed that of Pacific salmon, with potential implications for ...

Fine-scale vertical structure of sound-scattering layers over an east border upwelling system and its relationship to pelagic habitat characteristics [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2020 Understanding the relationship between sound-scattering layers (SSLs) and pelagic habitat characteristics is a substantial step to apprehend ecosystem dynamics. SSLs are detected on echo sounders representing aggregated marine pelagic organisms.
