Tuna Longline Fishing around West and Central Pacific Seamounts [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Seamounts have been identified as aggregating locations for pelagic biodiversity including tuna; however the topography and prevailing oceanography differ between seamounts and not all are important for tuna.

Megafaunal Community Structure of Andaman Seamounts Including the Back-Arc Basin – A Quantitative Exploration from the Indian Ocean [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Species rich benthic communities have been reported from some seamounts, predominantly from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but the fauna and habitats on Indian Ocean seamounts are still poorly known.

Deterministic process controlling the prokaryotic community assembly across seamounts along in the Yap and Mariana trenches

Ecological Indicators
Seamounts are geographically isolated, substrate-rich and highly heterogenetic habitats, where little is known about the population shifts and assembly mechanism of the local microbial communities. In this study, microbes in the sediments across a series

Shallow seamounts are "oases" and activity hubs for pelagic predators in a large-scale marine reserve. [PDF]

PLoS Biology
Seamounts have been likened to "oases" of life in the comparative deserts of the open ocean, often harbouring high densities of threatened and exploited pelagic top predators.

Diversity of lanternfish (Myctophidae) larvae along the Ninety East Ridge, Indian Ocean [PDF]

PeerJ
Since the 19th century, the impact of seamounts on the distribution of plankton has been a topic of considerable interest. The influence of seamounts on the biogeographic patterns of marine organisms is complex, with some aspects still under debate.

Parazoanthidae (Cnidaria, Zoantharia) associated with glass sponges on the Nishi-Shichito Ridge, northwestern Pacific Ocean, with the description of a new species [PDF]

ZooKeys
Seamounts are biodiversity hotspots that face increasing threats from anthropogenic activities. Seamounts host diverse sessile suspension-feeding organisms such as sponges and anthozoans, which are crucial for seamount ecosystems as they construct three ...

Bottom-contact fisheries disturbance and signs of recovery of precious corals in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and Emperor Seamount Chain

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Deep-sea precious corals in the octocoral family Coralliidae are among the dominant benthic megafauna at depths of 300–600 m on seamounts of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and lower Emperor Seamount Chain.

Biogeographic distribution patterns of the bacterial and archaeal communities in two seamounts in the Pacific Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Seamounts are important components of seafloor topography and have a significant influence on the biogeographic distribution of marine microorganisms.

Testing the Seamount Refuge Hypothesis for Predators and Scavengers in the Western Clarion-Clipperton Zone

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Seamounts are common in all ocean basins, and most have summit depths >3,000 m. Nonetheless, these abyssal seamounts are the least sampled and understood seamount habitats.

⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar Ages and Geochemistry of Seamount Basalts from the Western Pacific Province

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Seamounts are features generated by hot spots and associated intraplate volcanic activity. The geochemical characteristics of igneous rocks constituting seamounts provide evidence of important details of dynamic processes in the Earth, such as mantle ...
