Composition and Functional Diversity of Juvenile Groundfish Assemblages in the California Current

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Long‐term monitoring data at the biogeographic scale are essential for developing baselines of biodiversity patterns and tools to diagnose natural cycles, trends, and anomalous events to assess threats from climate change. However, studies using these data often limit their analyses to relatively few metrics that may not adequately capture

Three‐dimensional conservation planning of fish biodiversity metrics to achieve the deep‐sea 30×30 conservation target

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Accelerating rate of human impact and environmental change severely affects marine biodiversity and increases the urgency to implement the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) 30×30 plan for conserving 30% of sea areas by 2030. However, area‐based conservation targets are complex to identify in a 3‐dimensional (3D) ocean where deep‐sea ...

Ocean processes at the Antarctic continental slope [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The Antarctic continental shelves and slopes occupy relatively small areas, but, nevertheless, are important for global climate, biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Mesopelagic Particle Layers in the Dynamic Hypoxic Northern Benguela Are Shaped by Zooplankton Activity

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Hypoxic (O2 < 60 μmol kg−1) waters are found below 27% of the ocean surface and are predicted to expand in the near future; however, the organic carbon cycle in these regions is far from understood. Here we study the origin, composition, and temporal variability of mesopelagic particle layers in the hypoxic northern Benguela.

Food supply for nekton in the epipelagic layer of Pacific waters at Kuril Islands in the summer seasons of 2000s

open access: yesИзвестия ТИНРО, 2014
Data of 8 surveys conducted by Pacific Fish. Res. Center (TINRO) in the Pacific waters at Kuril Islands in 2004-2012 are summarized to consider forage base and food relationships of nekton and plankton and to estimate consumption of forage resourced by ...

Characterizing the Central Structure of a Mesoscale Eddy‐Ring Dipole in the Mozambique Channel From In Situ Observations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract During the RESILIENCE cruise aboard the R/V Marion Dufresne II (April 19–24 May 2022), a high‐resolution in situ observation campaign investigated a mesoscale dipole in the Mozambique Channel, composed of a large anticyclonic ring and a cyclonic eddy.

Winter distribution of macroplankton and micronekton in Masfjorden, western Norway

open access: yesMarine Ecology Progress Series, 1988
Masfjorden was investigated as a potential site for sea ranching of cod. The macroplankton and micronekton were studied in order to reveal the distributional patterns of species and biomass during winter. The biomass was dominated by the mesopelagic fishes Benthosema glaaale and Maurolicus muelleri, the pelagic shrimps Pasiphaea multidentata and ...

Physical and biological coupling in eddies in the lee of the South-West Indian Ridge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Eddies have some decisive functions in the dynamics of the Southern Ocean ecosystems. This is particularly true in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, where a region of unusually high-mesoscale variability has been observed in the vicinity of the ...

Mesopelagic Fish Traits: Functions and Trade‐Offs

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 1, Page 83-103, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Fishes inhabiting the mesopelagic zone of the world's oceans are estimated to account for the majority of the world's fish biomass. They have recently attracted new attention because they are part of the biological carbon pump and have been reconsidered as a contribution to food security.
