The unusual holopelagic annelid Poeobius meseres Heath, 1930 (Flabelligeridae) was first collected from Monterey Bay, California, and has been subsequently recorded across the northern Pacific from Japan to the Gulf of California. Rare occurrences in the eastern tropica...

This report is part of a series that summarizes the species and localities of Costa Rican marine taxa. A review of the literature on copepods, both pelagic and benthic for the Pacific and Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, includes eigthy species. Sixty seven pelagic specie...

<p>Each grey square indicates where one or more longline sets were recorded by fishery observers on commercial longline vessels (n = 2662 sets) within the 1×1° area (we are unable to show locations of individual sets due to privacy concerns). Each red circle indicates a...

<p>All variables included in linear predictor are significant (*p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001). R² represents the percentage of response variable variation that is explained by its relationship with one or more predictor variables, adjusted for the number of p...

During the summers of 2002–2013, we measured rates of carbon metabolism in surface waters of six sites across a land-to-lake gradient from the upstream end of drowned river-mouth Muskegon Lake (ML) (freshwater estuary) to 19 km offshore in Lake Michigan (LM) (a Great La...

The Continuous Underway Fish Egg Sampler (CUFES) is a ship-mounted oceanographic instrument that collects pelagic fish eggs and ancillary data. The system operates continuously under nearly all sea conditions, providing a real-time estimate of the volumetric abundance o...

The Pélagiques Gascogne (PELGAS, Doray et al., 2000) integrated survey aims at assessing the biomass of small pelagic fish and monitoring and studying the dynamics and diversity of the Bay of Biscay pelagic ecosystem in springtime. PELGAS has been conducted within the E...

Tuna fisheries have been identified as one of the major threats to populations of other marine vertebrates, including sea turtles, sharks, seabirds and marine mammals. The development of technical mitigation measures (MM) in fisheries is part of the code of conduct for ...
