Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Seamounts have long been recognised as hotspots for pelagic productivity and diversity in the world’s open ocean habitats. Recent studies have suggested that productivity may vary greatly between different seamounts, depending on complex interactions ...

Virioplankton distribution in the tropical western Pacific Ocean in the vicinity of a seamount
MicrobiologyOpen, 2020 The shallow Caroline Seamount is located in the tropical western Pacific Ocean. Its summit is 57 m below the surface and penetrates the euphotic zone. Therefore, it is ideal for the study of the influence of seamount on plankton distribution.

Seamount Ecosystem Evaluation Framework (SEEF): A Tool for Global Seamount Research and Data Synthesis [PDF]
Oceanography, 2010 The Seamount Ecosystem Evaluation Framework (SEEF) is an innovative multidisciplinary tool developed to standardize the parameters by which seamounts are characterized, to report the extent of knowledge about individual seamounts, and to identify and ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Phytoplankton have been observed to be widely distributed in the oceanic vertical water columns and have an important contribution to carbon sequestration via biological pump mechanism. However, in seamount areas with strong hydrodynamics, their vertical

Seamounts: Deep-Ocean Laboratories of Faunal Connectivity, Evolution, and Endemism [PDF]
Oceanography, 2010 Seamount systems that are geographically, hydrographically, topographically, and/or genetically “isolated” are likely to have developed highly endemic taxa and ecosystems.

Magnetization of the La Palma Seamount Series: Implications for seamount paleopoles [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1993 Paleopoles determined from seamount magnetic anomalies constitute the major data source for the Pacific apparent polar wander path, but relatively little is known about the processes of remanence acquisition in seamounts. Since magnetic anomalies reflect both natural remanence (NRM) and the induced field, it is important first to assess whether the NRM

Deformation and faulting of subduction overriding plate caused by a subducted seamount
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 We conducted numerical experiments to simulate elastoplastic deformation of the overriding plate caused by a subducted seamount. Calculations revealed development of a distinct pair of fault‐like shear zones, including a landward dipping forethrust fault

The Mollusca of Galicia Bank (NE Atlantic Ocean)
European Journal of Taxonomy, 2021 An illustrated checklist of the Mollusca of Galicia Bank, a large and deep seamount off the NW Iberian Peninsula, is provided. The studied material was collected in 8 samples of Seamount 1 cruise (1987), 7 samples of ECOMARG 0709 (2009) and 36 samples of

Associations of Commercial Fisheries and Cold‐Water Corals and Sponges
Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.Three metrics for determining whether the marine life that are landed by commercial fisheries are associated with cold‐water corals and sponges: (a) Adjacent; (b) General Proximity; and (c) Habitat. The relationship between these structure forming invertebrates (SFI) and fisheries is robust across analytical approaches.

Sea-floor tectonics and submarine hydrothermal systems [PDF]
, 2005 The discovery of metal-depositing hot springs on the sea floor, and especially their link to chemosynthetic life, was among the most compelling and significant scientific advances of the twentieth century. More than 300 sites of hydrothermal activity and
