The Romantic Discovery of Radiolaria in the Ocean. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Radiolaria are unicellular marine organisms (protists) that have been drifting in oceanic plankton for hundreds of millions of years. These mineral architects can build extraordinarily complex skeletons, which fascinated and puzzled naturalists observing water samples through rudimentary microscopes.

Distribution of siphonophores in the Northwest Pacific Ocean and links to environmental conditions
Despite their abundance in marine ecosystems, studies on siphonophores are limited. In this study, 26 species of siphonophores in the Northwest Pacific Ocean were identified during multiple cruises of the R/V ISABU from 2018–2020, and various factors ...

Eight New Records of Siphonophores (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) in Korean Waters
Taxonomical research on siphonophores is lacking despite their high biodiversity. We collected siphonophores in Jeju and the southern coasts of Korea and conducted morphological redescriptions using multi-focus stacked digital images.

New records of mesopelagic siphonophores (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from the Colombian Caribbean collected during offshore exploration cruises [PDF]
Five species of siphonophores are newly recorded in the Colombian Caribbean Sea: the physonects Athorybia rosacea (Forsskål, 1775), Nanomia bijuga (Delle Chiaje, 1844), and Agalma okenii Eschscholtz, 1825 and the calycophores Amphicaryon ...

Clinical Presentation and Pathological Effects of a Hydrozoan Bloom on Farmed Atlantic Salmon. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Largely unpredictable, gelatinous plankton blooms are a growing concern for the ever‐expanding mariculture industry. Recently, a bloom of a colonial hydrozoan known as Apolemia sp. was detected via a citizen‐science initiative, Nye.dugnadforhavet.no, in mid‐Norway in July 2023.

Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Associations between fishes (Actinopterygii: Teleostei) and anthozoans (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia) in epipelagic waters based on in situ records. [PDF]
Abstract We formally describe the association of fishes and anthozoans in epipelagic waters, extending this relationship to beyond the benthos. In situ observations and photographs of Aluterus schoepfii, Ariomma regulus, Caranx cf. latus and Brama spp.

Dendrogramma is a siphonophore [PDF]
Dendrogramma was the iconic deep-sea animal of 2014, voted among the top-ten new species described that year [1]. The two species described are mushroom shaped animals, diploblastic, with an apparent gastrovascular system that extends from the base of the stalk to bifurcating canals that radiate through the flat disc [2].
