Parapercis randalli sp. nov. is described on the basis of four specimens collected in southern Taiwan by angling at a depth of 5–150 m. It differs from its congeners in having five broad reddish brown saddles on the dorsal surface; both jaws and anterior portion of snout reddish orange; a yellow bar with red margin on cheek; a series of 8 red bars below body axis; configuration of spots on head...

Most members of the genus Calaxias are small to mediumsized, fast-swimming, mid-water fishes that can be either lacustrine or diadromous (Whitley 1935). However, one species, Calaxias cleaveri Scott 1934, differs so markedly from typical Tasmanian members of the genus that at one stage it was referred to tpe genus Saxilaga by Scott (1936). Meristic and morphometric comparison of the mainland Ta...

Abstract. Oceanic particulate organic carbon (POC) is a small but dynamic component of the global cycle. Biogeochemical models historically focused on reproducing sinking flux POC driven by large fast-sinking particles (LPOC). However, suspended and slow-sinking (SPOC, here < 100 µm) dominate total (TPOC) stock, support fraction microbial respiration, can make sizable contributions to vertic...
