Plankton blooms in vortices: The role of biological and hydrodynamic time scales [PDF]
, 2007 We study the interplay of hydrodynamic mesoscale structures and the growth of plankton in the wake of an island, and its interaction with a coastal upwelling. Our focus is on a mechanism for the emergence of localized plankton blooms in vortices. Using a

The Plankton Lifeform Extraction Tool: a digital tool to increase the discoverability and usability of plankton time-series data [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2021 Plankton form the base of the marine food web and are sensitive indicators of environmental change. Plankton time series are therefore an essential part of monitoring progress towards global biodiversity goals, such as the Convention on Biological ...

Biological activity in the wake of an island close to a coastal upwelling [PDF]
, 2008 Hydrodynamic forcing plays an important role in shaping the dynamics of marine organisms, in particular of plankton. In this work we study the planktonic biological activity in the wake of an island which is close to an upwelling region.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 After a 1.5-year screening survey in the lagoons of Western Greece in order to isolate and culture sturdy species of microalgae for aquaculture or other value-added uses, as dictated primarily by satisfactory potential for their mass culture, five ...

Fungal parasitism on diatoms alters formation and bio–physical properties of sinking aggregates
Communications Biology, 2023 Fungal parasites are found to effectively control the fate of phytoplankton-derived organic matter, potentially enhancing remineralization and reducing sedimentation in freshwater and coastal systems.

Planktonic communities and chaotic advection in dynamical models of Langmuir circulation [PDF]
, 1998 A deterministic mechanism for the production of plankton patches within a typical medium scale oceanic structure is proposed and investigated. By direct numerical simulation of a simple model of Langmuir circulation we quantify the effects of unsteady ...

Current Biology, 2017 Plankton comprises unicellular plants - phytoplankton - and generally small (millimetres or less) animals - zooplankton - that are adrift on the currents. Phytoplankton are responsible for about 45% of global annual primary production and are grazed by zooplankton, which in turn are suitably sized food items for predators including commercially ...

Impacts of Microplastics on the Swimming Behavior of the Copepod Temora turbinata (Dana, 1849)
Fluids, 2020 Zooplankton are prone to the ingestion of microplastics by mistaking them for prey. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the impacts of microplastic availability on zooplankton behavior.

Automatic plankton quantification using deep features [PDF]
, 2019 The study of marine plankton data is vital to monitor the health of the world’s oceans. In recent decades, automatic plankton recognition systems have proved useful to address the vast amount of data collected by specially engineered in situ digital ...
