Pan-Atlantic analysis of the overlap of a highly migratory species, the leatherback turtle, with pelagic longline fisheries
Large oceanic migrants play important roles in ecosystems, yet many species are of conservation concern as a result of anthropogenic threats, of which incidental capture by fisheries is frequently identified. The last large populations of the leatherback turtle, Dermochelys coriacea, occur in the Atlantic Ocean, but interactions with industrial fisheries could jeopardize recent positive populat...
متن کاملEcological commonalities among pelagic fishes: comparison of freshwater ciscoes and marine herring and sprat
Systematic comparisons of the ecology between functionally similar fish species from freshwater and marine aquatic systems are surprisingly rare. Here, we discuss commonalities and differences in evolutionary history, population genetics, reproduction and life history, ecological interactions, behavioural ecology and physiological ecology of temperate and Arctic freshwater coregonids (vendace a...
متن کاملBarriers to gene flow in Embiotoca jacksoni, a marine fish lacking a pelagic larval stage.
Marine species generally show high dispersal capabilities, which should be accompanied by high levels of gene flow and low speciation rates. However, studies that focused on the relationship between dispersal and gene flow in marine fishes have been inconclusive. This study focuses on the black surfperch, Embiotoca jacksoni, a temperate reef fish that lacks a pelagic larval stage and lives on a...
متن کاملMajor osmolyte changes during oocyte hydration of a clupeocephalan marine benthophil: Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus)
The major inorganic and organic osmolytes responsible for hydrating the oocytes during pre-ovulatory meiotic maturation in autumnand spring-spawning stocks of Atlantic herring are examined. Despite the ovulated eggs of spring-spawning herring being 1.6to 2-fold larger than the autumn-spawning stock, the GSI (27 ± 3%) and degree of oocyte hydration (70–72% water) were similar. Normalising the da...
متن کاملTrichodesmium And Nitrogen Fixation In The Atlantic : JGOFS Meets Biocomplexity
80W 60W 40W 20W 0 Modeling nutrient dynamics and carbon cycling in the ocean requires interdisciplinary research, combining geochemistry, biology, ecology and physics. All of these disciplines are represented in the U.S. JGOFS Synthesis and Modeling Project (SMP). However it is probably fair to say that the SMP, child of the U.S. JGOFS process studies, has focused primarily on characterizing an...
