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).

The Lau Basin Float Experiment (LAUB-FLEX) [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 Before 2004, little was known about deep ocean circulation in the Lau Basin, a semi-enclosed basin in the South Pacific Ocean, about 1,500 km north of New Zealand.

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

The Prediction, Verification, and Significance of Flank Jets at Mid-Ocean Ridges [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 One aspect of ocean flow over mid-ocean ridges that has escaped much attention is the capacity of a ridge to convert oscillatory flows into unidirectional flows.

Hydrography and flow in the rift valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
, 2000 Slow-spreading mid-ocean ridges such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are characterized by deep axial rift valleys which are isolated from the water on the ridge flanks.

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

Hydrothermal exploration of mid-ocean ridges: where might the largest sulfide deposits occur? [PDF]
, 2015 Highlights • “Black Smokers” on slow-spreading ridges can host larger seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) deposits than on fast ridges. • The largest slow-ridge SMS deposits are typically associated with long-lived tectonic fractures ± sustained ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Although Macrourus species are the main by‐catch across Southern Ocean longline fisheries, including around South Georgia, the lack of species‐specific data has hindered effective management and ecological understanding. Aggregation of macrourids at genus level masks critical interspecific differences in life‐history strategies and ...
