A review of zooplankton and deep carbon fixation contributions to carbon cycling in the dark ocean

BJ Burd, RE Thomson - Journal of Marine Systems, 2022 - Elsevier
Abstract Models of the marine carbon cycle assume that virtually all heterotrophic production
in the open ocean is derived from near-surface carbon fixation (primary production) by …

Micronekton distribution as influenced by mesoscale eddies, Madagascar shelf and shallow seamounts in the south-western Indian Ocean: an acoustic approach

An investigation of the vertical and horizontal distributions of micronekton, as influenced by
mesoscale eddies, the Madagascar shelf and shallow seamounts, was undertaken using …

Temporal patterns in acoustic presence and foraging activity of oceanic dolphins at seamounts in the Azores

I Cascão, MO Lammers, R Prieto, RS Santos… - Scientific reports, 2020 - nature.com
Several seamounts have been identified as hotspots of marine life in the Azores, acting as
feeding stations for top predators, including cetaceans. Passive acoustic monitoring is an …

Micronekton distributions and assemblages at two shallow seamounts of the south-western Indian Ocean: Insights from acoustics and mesopelagic trawl data
