Questioning the Rise of Gelatinous Zooplankton in the World's Oceans
During the past several decades, high numbers of gelatinous zooplankton species have been reported in many estuarine and coastal ecosystems. Coupled with media-driven public perception, a paradigm has evolved in which the global ocean ecosystems are thought to be heading toward being dominated by “nuisance” jellyfish. We question this current paradigm by presenting a broad overview of gelatinou...
متن کاملCollection and culture techniques for gelatinous zooplankton.
Gelatinous zooplankton are the least understood of all planktonic animal groups. This is partly due to their fragility, which typically precludes the capture of intact specimens with nets or trawls. Specialized tools and techniques have been developed that allow researchers and aquarists to collect intact gelatinous animals at sea and to maintain many of these alive in the laboratory. This pape...
متن کاملseasonal variation of zooplankton abundance, composition and biomass in the chabahar bay, oman sea
temporal and spatial variation of zooplankton abundance, composition and biomass were examined on the chabahar bay, oman sea. the chabahar bay, a subtropical and semi-enclosed bay, provides an ideal breeding ground for many fish and shellfish. five stations were investigated along the bay. this area is under the influence of the indian ocean seasonal monsoons. zooplankton was collected with ver...

متن کاملBiogeochemical drivers of the fate of riverine mercury discharged to the global and Arctic oceans
Rivers discharge 28 ± 13Mmol yr 1 of mercury (Hg) to oceanmargins, an amount comparable to atmospheric deposition to the global oceans. Most of the Hg discharged by rivers is sequestered by burial of benthic sediment in estuaries or the coastal zone, but some is evaded to the atmosphere and some is exported to the open ocean. We investigate the fate of riverine Hg by developing a new global 3-D...
