Limited Dispersal of Benthic Environmental DNA From a Subtropical Mesophotic Shelf‐Edge Bank

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
We investigated the vertical and horizontal dispersion of eDNA away from an isolated mesophotic coral reef (Bright Bank) in stratified offshore waters. We found that vertical transport of benthic eDNA was limited by water column stratification and that the prevalence of eDNA from benthic invertebrates declined with horizontal distance away from the ...

Biological oceanography, biogeochemical cycles, and pelagic ecosystem functioning of the east-central South Pacific Gyre: focus on Easter Island and Salas y Gómez Island

open access: yesLatin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2014
The Exclusive Economic Zone of Chile defined by Easter Island and Salas y Gómez Island is in the South Pacific Sub-tropical Gyre (SPSG), putting it at the center of the most oligotrophic and biomass poor waters in the world.

The Marine Plankton of the Coastal Waters of Calicut with Observations on the Hydrological Conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1953
The present paper is the outcome of regular plankton and hydrological investigations off West Hill, Calicut, for' the three years 1948-5l. There has been very little detailed work done on the plankton and hydrology of Indian coastal waters, especially

Siphonophores eat fish larger than their stomachs

open access: yesDeep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2010
Special issue Species Diversity of Marine Zooplankton.-- 3 pages, 2 figures We report a collection of the siphonophore Halistemma cupulifera, collected at 20 meters depth during a night SCUBA dive in the Sargasso Sea. One of its stomachs (gastrozooids) contained a leptocephalus larva of the eel Ariosoma sp. folded in thirds to fit, but 8.3.

Biomass‐to‐volume ratio as a central continuous functional trait for marine zooplankton

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 9, Page 2673-2687, September 2025.
Abstract Gelatinous zooplankton are an important component of many ecosystems and important for ecosystem structure and carbon cycling. However, this group is generally not considered in biogeochemical models. Here we investigate the biomass‐to‐volume ratio as an underappreciated “master trait” that allows for the incorporation of a large diversity of ...

Seasonal variation of the main zooplanktonic groups of the protected natural area estuary El Salado, Jalisco, Mexico

open access: yesRevista Bio Ciencias, 2015
Estuarine systems are the most important aquatic natural resources of the nation from various perspectives; fisheries use them mainly through studies that allow the detection and evaluation of the areas of concentration of adults on reproduction ...

Consequences of Stinging Plankton Blooms on Finfish Mariculture in the Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2017
In recent years, caged finfish mariculture across European seas suffered production losses by severe fish mortality, following episodic outbreaks of invertebrate cnidarian stingers. Due to their stinging cells and injectable venoms, medusozoan jellyfish,

Hyperiid amphipods from the Gulf of Ulloa and offshore region, Baja California: The possible role of the gelatinous zooplankton as a transport vector into the coastal shelf waters.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Hyperiid amphipod species from the Gulf of Ulloa, Baja California, and the adjacent region (from the shelf break to 200 km offshore) were analyzed to evaluate diversity and abundances.

Distribution and abundance of zooplankton in the northern Arabian Sea with reference to oil spill in the Gulf waters [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Zooplankton of the northern Arabian Sea between lat. 16° and 23°N and long. 62° and 73°E was studied in March, 1991 for understanding the impact on zooplankton, of the large scale oil slick occurred in the Gulf waters during the Gulf War in January ...

Harmonizing marine zooplankton trait data toward a mechanistic understanding of ecosystem functioning

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S1, Page S8-S27, July 2025.
Abstract Compiling trait information promotes discovery and innovation in using trait‐based approaches in ecology. Various zooplankton trait datasets are stored in unlinked data repositories, in diverse data structures, and have varying levels of complexity.
