The Inkless Octopuses (Cephalopoda: Octopodidae) of the Southwest Atlantic

Zoological Science, 2010
Three inkless octopodids are described from the continental shelf off southeastern South America. These octopuses are a non-commercial by-catch in the Falkland Islands fishery. Muusoctopus eureka (Robson, 1929) is one of two common inkless octopuses and is of medium size, with orange-pink skin and a distinctive pattern of irregular dark markings ...

Bathymetry of the northeast Atlantic: Mid-Atlantic ridge to southwest Europe

Deep Sea Research and Oceanographic Abstracts, 1975
Abstract A new bathymetric chart is presented of the northeast Atlantic between 32 and 50°N and extending westwards to include the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The chart includes areas of sea-floor spreading, transform faulting,compression and past subduction and illustrates the complexity of the resulting topography.

Krill fishing activity in the southwest Atlantic

Antarctic Science, 1991
Commercial krill fishing has been undertaken in the Southern Ocean for twenty years. Recently the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) introduced a reporting scheme to summarize catch data from half degree of latitude by one degree of longitude rectangles.

The Convergence Ecosystem in the Southwest Atlantic

2001
The Atlantic subtropical anticyclone and the antarctic circumpolar current drive the upper oceanographic circulation in the Southwest Atlantic. The large-scale flow field comprises the south and northward flowing western boundary currents, the Brazil and Malvinas (=Falkland) currents, respectively. The Brazil Current transports warm tropical water (TW)

Mazocraeid Monogeneans Parasitic on Engraulid Fishes in the Southwest Atlantic

The Journal of Parasitology, 1999
Two species of mazocraeid monogeneans are reported for the first time from Argentinean-Uruguayan engraulid fish hosts, Engraulis anchoita and Anchoa marini. Mazocraes australis n. sp. collected from the gills of E. anchoita is described: this new species can be distinguished from the other congenerics by the number of genital hooks in the copulatory ...

Molecular affinity of Southwest Atlantic Alvinocaris muricola with Atlantic Equatorial Belt populations

Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 2020
Abstract Specialist fauna populations from chemosynthetic ecosystems are connected through larval stages travelling in current highways in the vast deep sea. One shrimp family of such specialists, Alvinocarididae, is hitherto known to be endemic to vents and seeps with no reported occurrence in ephemeral organic-rich chemosynthetic habitats.

Bacterial Abundance and Production in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean

Hydrobiologia, 2004
A bacterial dynamics study was conducted in the southwest Atlantic Ocean off the Brazilian coast from October to December 1998 with samples collected at the depth of chlorophyll a maximum. The bacteria were counted by flow cytometry with the SYTO13 DNA dye and bacterial activity was measured as carbon production by the uptake of 3H-leucine. The samples

Physical forcing in the southwest Atlantic: ecosystem control

2006
In the southwest Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, temporal variability in the physical environment has been recorded since the early part of the last century. For example, sea-surface temperature at South Georgia shows periodicity of approximately 3 to 4 years.
