Optimization of a micronekton model with acoustic data [PDF]

open access: yesICES Journal of Marine Science, 2014
Abstract In the pelagic foodweb, micronekton at the mid-trophic level (MTL) are one of the lesser known components of the ocean ecosystem despite being a major driver of the spatial dynamics of their predators, of which many are exploited species (e.g. tunas).

Dispersion Overrides Environmental Variability as a Primary Driver of the Horizontal Assemblage Structure of the Mesopelagic Fish Family Myctophidae in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The lanternfishes (Myctophidae) are a highly speciose, globally-distributed family of fishes that constitute a dominant component of the global pelagic fauna.

From micronekton to tuna

open access: yes
Tuna fishing accounts for over 70% of GDP in small island countries in the Western and Central Tropical Pacific. However, this activity is threatened by global warming, which could displace or reduce tuna populations.

Mesopelagic Scattering Layer Behaviors Across the Clarion-Clipperton Zone: Implications for Deep-Sea Mining

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) is a 4 million km2 area in the eastern Central Pacific Ocean exhibiting large variability in environmental parameters, particularly oxygen and primary production, that is being targeted for deep-sea polymetallic nodule ...

Multibeam volume acoustic backscatter imagery and reverberation measurements in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Multibeam volume acoustic backscatterimagery and reverberation measurements are derived from data collected in 200-m-deep waters in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, with the Toroidal Volume Search Sonar (TVSS), a 68-kHz cylindrical sonar operated by the ...

State of Satiation Partially Regulates the Dynamics of Vertical Migration

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Vertical migrations into shallower waters at night are beneficial for migrators as they reduce predation risk and allow migrators to encounter a higher density of prey.

Operational real-time and forecast modelling of Atlantic albacore tuna [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The model SEAPODYM (Spatial Ecosystem And Population Dynamics) has now reached a degree of maturity allowing to use it for testing management scenarios and to implement operational monitoring.

Dead zone or oasis in the open ocean? Zooplankton distribution and migration in low-oxygen modewater eddies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The eastern tropical North Atlantic (ETNA) features a mesopelagic oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) at approximately 300–600 m depth. Here, oxygen concentrations rarely fall below 40 µmol O2 kg−1, but are expected to decline under future projections of global ...
