Abstract The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill in the NE Gulf of Mexico in 2010 was the largest accidental spill globally. During and after the spill, oil was incorporated into marine snow (marine‐oil‐snow or MOS) and sedimented to the seafloor, accounting for ∼21% of the oil released.

Thermal Limits and Decline of Synechococcus Under Accelerated Warming and Marine Heatwaves
Marine picophytoplankton, including Synechococcus, contribute ~20% of ocean primary production and are considered thermally resilient. However, 7 years of observations and experiments in the Red Sea show that recent extreme warming reduced Synechococcus abundance. Seawater temperatures during marine heatwaves in 2023–2024 exceeded the thermal limits of

Standing Stocks of Zooplankton Size-Classes and Trophic Levels in Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaiian Islands [PDF]
Data are presented for the estimated standing stocks of nanozooplankton, microzooplankton, and macrozooplankton in the southern sector of Kaneohe Bay. Analyses of variability in the estimates due to sampling errors and spatial-temporal variations and ...

Quantitative distribution of microzooplankton off Westland, New Zealand [PDF]
Abstract Off Westland in February 1982, ciliated protozoans were numerically most abundant and accounted for >95% of the microzooplankton assemblage. Naked oligotrichs dominated these ciliated protozoans, particularly in offshore waters, where phytoflagellates were most abundant. Tinlinnids were relatively more abundant inshore. Stenosomella nivalis, a

Microzooplankton grazing on phytoplankton in the basin of northern South China Sea and the two typical areas of the Northwest Pacific [PDF]
分别于2014年4月和6月在南海北部海盆、2014年12月及2015年3-5月分别在吕宋海峡东侧和黑潮亲潮合流的西北太平洋海域,通过显微镜计数微型浮游动物主要类群丰度,同时应用稀释法结合流式细胞(FCM)技术和高效液相色谱(HPLC)技术,重点探究浮游植物生长率和微型浮游动物摄食率的时空差异及与环境因子的关系,以及不同浮游植物类群的生长率和微型浮游动物的选择性摄食。获得以下主要结果: 春季南海北部海域表层微型浮游动物丰度平均值为2742±1210indL-1,生物量平均为6.30±4.09µ ...

Abstract The significant contribution of phytoplankton to global primary production is regulated by several abiotic and biotic factors, which are often difficult to account for in natural systems. To address these challenges, we perturbed a summer plankton community from Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, USA, by manipulating the temperature and nutrient ...

Effects of ocean acidification and warming on microzooplankton communities = Auswirkungen von Ozeanversauerung und Erwärmung auf Mikrozooplankton-Gesellschaften [PDF]
Among the environmental stressors affecting the oceans, warming and acidification have been identified as two of the most important ones. Currently, the understanding of the effects of the two stressors on plankton communities forming the base of the ...
