Seamount egg‐laying grounds of the deep‐water skate Bathyraja richardsoni

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 89, Issue 2, Page 1473-1481, August 2016., 2016
Highly localized concentrations of elasmobranch egg capsules of the deep‐water skate Bathyraja richardsoni were discovered during the first remotely operated vehicle (ROV) survey of the Hebrides Terrace Seamount in the Rockall Trough, north‐east Atlantic Ocean.

Seawater Carbonate Chemistry Along the Hawaiian‐Emperor Seamount Chain in the North Pacific

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Below the aragonite saturation horizon (ASH), the aragonitic skeletons of deep‐sea reef building corals are more susceptible to dissolution. Ocean acidification is causing the ASH to shallow worldwide, threatening the health and future of deep‐sea coral reefs.

Predicting Suitable Areas for Cold‐Water Scleractinian Corals in Southwestern Australian Submarine Canyons

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The exploration of submarine canyons offshore southwestern Australia using remotely operated vehicles (ROV) has documented the occurrence of cold‐water coral (CWC) ecosystems, predominantly along the heads and slopes of the canyons. Representing the first major ROV investigation in this region, information on CWC distribution in this area ...

The Use of Image‐Based Data and Abundance Modelling Approaches for Predicting the Location of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems in the South Pacific Ocean

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 1, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) are typically fragile and slow to recover, thereby making them susceptible to disturbance, including fishing. In the high seas, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) requested regional fishery management organisations (RFMOs) to implement measures to prevent significant adverse impacts on VMEs. Here, we

Evaluation of the full set of habitat suitability models for vulnerable marine ecosystem indicator taxa in the South Pacific high seas

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract In the high seas, regional fishery management organisations are required to implement measures to prevent significant adverse impacts on vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs). Our objectives were to develop habitat suitability models for use in the spatial management of bottom fisheries in the South Pacific and to evaluate these and existing ...

Shifting Depth Distributions of Deep‐Sea Corals in the Southwest Pacific: Implications for Deglacial Dynamics of the Southern Ocean

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 39, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract We compare depth and temporal distributions of sub‐fossil assemblages of two cold‐water scleractinian corals on seamounts in the Southwest Pacific to help define the temporal variations of water mass properties in the Southern Ocean (SO) during deglaciation.

Mitochondrial Group I Introns in Hexacorals Are Regulatory Genetic Elements [PDF]

, 2020
Hexacoral mitochondrial genomes are highly economically organized and vertebrate-like in size, structure, and gene content. A hallmark, however, is the presence of group I introns interrupting essential oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) genes. Two genes,

Assessing the importance of acoustic backscatter and bottom trawling impact as predictor variables for mapping deep sea coral reefs

Frontiers in Remote Sensing
Seamounts host some of the most biodiverse and vulnerable deep-sea ecosystems, as epitomised by the elevated diversity and biomass of fauna associated with extensive reefs of the frame-work forming coral Solenosmilia variabilis.

By-catch of cold-water corals from an Experimental Trawl Survey in three seamounts within NAFO Regulatory Area (Divs. 6EFG) during year 2004 [PDF]

, 2008
By-catch of cold-water corals from a Trawl Experimental Survey developed during 2004 in three NAFO seamounts was examined. Three hauls were carried out over two peaks located in Divs. 6EF.
