Estimating Zooplankton Biomass Distribution in the Water Column Near the Endeavour Segment of Juan de Fuca Ridge Using Acoustic Backscatter and Concurrently Towed Nets [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 Logistical challenges, time, and the cost of towed net surveys make it difficult to obtain estimates of secondary biomass and production in the open ocean outside the summer sampling season. Alternate approaches are sometimes needed.

Contrasting life‐history strategies of three sympatric icefish species in the northern Scotia Sea
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Comprehending a species' life‐history strategies is crucial to inform effective conservation efforts. Commercial fishing impacts icefish (family: Channichthyidae) in the Scotia Sea, but detailed information on species‐specific life histories remains largely unknown.

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Ginglymostoma cirratum, commonly known as the nurse shark, is a nocturnally active benthic shark, often found in western and eastern Atlantic waters. Although this shark has been well explored in many biological aspects, few studies have thoroughly examined the morphology of its dermal denticles (or placoid scales).

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Coryphaenoides Gunnerus, 1765 comprises 66 valid species of deep‐sea fishes commonly known as grenadiers, with 6 previously reported from Brazilian waters. Here, we make the first records for Coryphaenoides striaturus and Coryphaenoides subserrulatus on the Brazilian continental slope. Both species are distributed in the subtropical regions of

Lava Geochemistry as a Probe into Crustal Formation at the East Pacific Rise [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 Basalt lavas comprise the greatest volume of volcanic rocks on Earth, and most of them erupt along the world's mid-ocean ridges (MORs). These MOR basalts (MORBs) are generally thought to be relatively homogeneous in composition over large segments of the

Velocity sections of the upper mantle under the oceans
Геофизический журнал, 2016 We constructed the models of the distribution of longitudinal seismic waves velocities for the upper mantle oceanic regions: mid-ocean ridges (MOR), basins, trenches, island arcs and coastal ridges, back-arc troughs (BAT).
