Data Report: 59. Unsuccessful Search for Fish Otoliths, Cretaceous and Younger: Leg 120, Southern Indian Ocean
نویسنده
چکیده
Otoliths were sought in hundreds of samples from Cretaceous to Holocene sections at all sites (747-751) drilled by Ocean Drilling Program Leg 120 on the Kerguelen Plateau. None were recovered. In the younger part of the sequence, the absence is a result of the composition of nototheniid otoliths, which is dominantly aragonite.

Age determination and morphological study using otoliths in Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758 in the Southern Caspian Sea
The relationships between sagitta otolith morphology and fish size were examined for common carp in the Southern Caspian Sea and also the aging of different length groups were determined. Statistical tests to examine correlation between left and right otoliths dimensions were carried out and no statistically significant difference between them was found. The biggest otolith had 0.032g weight be...

متن کاملA better-ventilated ocean triggered by Late Cretaceous changes in continental configuration
Oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) are large-scale events of oxygen depletion in the deep ocean that happened during pre-Cenozoic periods of extreme warmth. Here, to assess the role of major continental configuration changes occurring during the Late Cretaceous on oceanic circulation modes, which in turn influence the oxygenation level of the deep ocean, we use a coupled ocean atmosphere climate mode...
متن کاملDistribution Modeling of Bigeye Tuna (Thunnus obesus Lowe, 1839), Using Satellite Derived Environmental Variables in Indian Ocean
Understanding effects of environment on the distribution of economic fish is a fundamental step in the ecosystem-based management and ultimately a standard approach in management policies. Bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) is one of the most important aquatic species harvested in the Indian Ocean. The present study investigated the association of different variables effecting the rate of catch and d...
متن کامل16. Magnetostratigraphy of Paleogene and Upper Cretaceous Sediments from Broken Ridge, Eastern Indian Ocean
Broken Ridge represents a fragment of the oceanic Kerguelen-Heard platform, constructed at high southern latitudes in the middle Cretaceous and rifted apart during the middle Eocene (43-45 Ma). The approximately 1400-m section of prerift sediments on Broken Ridge preserves a polarity sequence that spans the middle Eocene to Upper Cretaceous (Chrons Cl 8/C20 to C34), including a 500-m continuous...
