Abstract The biological carbon pump sequesters carbon through passive fluxes of biologically derived carbon, and by active vertical movement of marine organisms. Trophic coupling between pelagic and benthic communities increases the efficiency of the biological carbon pump as less carbon is lost to remineralization.

Life history aspects of 19 rockfish species (Scorpaenidae: Sebastes) from the Southern California Bight [PDF]
The authors investigated various life history aspects of 19 rockfish species (Sebastes chlorostictus, S. constellatus, S. dalli, S. elongatus, S. ensifer, S. entomelas, S. flavidus, S. goodei, S. hopkinsi, S. levis, S. melanostomus, S.

Preliminary observations on the use of a frame trawl in hydroacoustic surveys [PDF]
Thirteen hauls were made during the hydroacoustic survey of the Ugandan waters of Lake Victoria from 7-19 February 1999. Ten of the hauls were made above the oxycline which was clearly visible as a strong echo on the echogram at between 25 and 35 m depth

In this paper, we proposed a mathematical model of a mid-water trawl system. The model consisted of towing warps, otter boards, a trawl net, and other rigging components. The warp and the net were modeled with the lumped mass method.

Dissolved and Particulate Methylated Mercury in a Highly Productive Area of the Southern Ocean
Abstract Methylated mercury (MeHg), including dimethylmercury and monomethylmercury (MMHg), is a pollutant of concern because it biomagnifies in marine biota. The formation of MeHg in the oceans, specifically at highly productive regions and at high oxygen levels, remains elusive.

Intraspecific variation in prey quality affects the consumption rates of top predators
This study reveals overlooked intraspecific variation in prey quality and its influence on predator energy budgets. By identifying key ecological drivers, we emphasize the need to integrate such variability into bioenergetic models to improve predictions of predator foraging and ecosystem responses to environmental change.

FEATURES OF FISH BEHAVIOR IN THE ACTION ZONE OF MIDWATER TRAWL
Researches in the field of behavior and distribution of fish at different stages of fishing were conducted using midwater trawls in order to increase fishing efficiency, subject to the fact that, besides fish behavior, parameters of midwater trawls and types of trawling affect the efficiency of trawling.

Pacific herring, Clupea harengus pallasi, studies in San Francisco Bay, Monterey Bay, and the Gulf of the Farallones, July 1982 to March 1983 [PDF]
Herring stocks were hydroacoustically surveyed and sampled in San Francisco Bay from November 1982 to March 1983. Twelve discrete herring schools were identified, all of which spawned between November 7 and February 23. One additional school was found in

Are Sponges Good Natural Sentinels for Monitoring Fish Diversity in Antarctic Coastal Waters?
This study demonstrates that eDNA metabarcoding using both water and sponge samples is an effective tool for monitoring fish biodiversity along the Western Antarctic Peninsula. The results revealed 14 endemic Antarctic fish species and one marine mammal, with water samples often offering a more comprehensive view than sponges.
