Emergence of anoxia in the California current large marine ecosystem.
Eastern boundary current systems are among the world's most productive large marine ecosystems. Because upwelling currents transport nutrient-rich but oxygen-depleted water onto shallow seas, large expanses of productive continental shelves can be vulnerable to the risk of extreme low-oxygen events. Here, we report the novel rise of water-column shelf anoxia in the northern California Current s...

متن کاملLarge Scale Physical Variability of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem
The Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) is situated off the west coast of Africa between 5-37oS, 0-26oE, and spans the three countries of Angola, Namibia and South Africa. It is one of the four major eastern boundary current upwelling systems of the world oceans (Hill et al. 1998), and although it has some similar characteristics to the other eastern boundary upwelling areas, a uniq...
متن کاملDeclining Abundance of Beaked Whales (Family Ziphiidae) in the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem
Beaked whales are among the most diverse yet least understood groups of marine mammals. A diverse set of mostly anthropogenic threats necessitates improvement in our ability to assess population status for this cryptic group. The Southwest Fisheries Science Center (NOAA) conducted six ship line-transect cetacean abundance surveys in the California Current off the contiguous western United State...
متن کاملSeabird diversity hotspot linked to ocean productivity in the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem
Upwelling regions are highly productive habitats targeted by wide-ranging marine predators and industrial fisheries. In this study, we track the migratory movements of eight seabird species from across the Atlantic; quantify overlap with the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) and determine the habitat characteristics that drive this association. Our results indicate the CCLME is a bi...
