The mesopelagic zone is the oceanic region through which carbon and other elements must
pass in order to reach deeper waters or the sea floor. However, the food web interactions …

We review the spatial and temporal patterns of zooplankton in the eastern tropical Pacific
Ocean and relationships with oceanographic factors that affect zooplankton distribution …

Abstract Mid-water oxygen minima (0.5 mll 1 dissolved O2) intercept the continental margins
along much of the eastern Pacific Ocean, off west Africa and in the Arabian Sea and Bay of …

Dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in the water column is an environmental parameter
that is crucial for the successful development of many pelagic organisms. Hypoxia tolerance …

Diurnal vertical migration (DVM) of marine organisms is an ubiquitous phenomenon in the
ocean that generates an active vertical transport of organic matter. However, the magnitude …

This paper focuses on the characteristics of the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) as observed in
the Arabian Sea over the complete monsoon cycle of 1995. Dissolved oxygen, nitrite, nitrate …

Fluxes of particulate organic carbon (POC) through the oxygen deficient waters in the
eastern tropical North Pacific were found to be relatively less attenuated with depth than …

Decreasing concentrations of dissolved oxygen in the ocean are considered one of the main
threats to marine ecosystems as they jeopardize the growth of higher organisms. They also …

Investigations of macrobenthos were carried out within and beneath the oxygen minimum
zone (OMZ,< 0.5 mll− 1) during Fall 1994 on the Oman margin, NW Arabian Sea. Six …

Study of the fauna of the submarine ridges in the south-eastern Pacific began in the 1950s,
but the most detailed investigations were made in 1973–1987 during cruises of several …
