Demersal and pelagic species of fish and squid from the Patagonian shelf
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dataset contains 2007 records of occurrence of 39 species of fish and 2 species of squid distributed on the Patagonian continental shelf and slope. This dataset describes a new and revised version of the original data published through OBIS with individual morphometrics. Specimens are representative of pelagic, demersal, demersal-pelagic, demersal-benthic and benthic habits and they were collected by commercial fishing vessels in autumn (May-June, 2001, 51 catches), winter (July-August, 2001, 38 catches) and summer (January-February, 2002, 112 catches). The sampling was carried out with bottom trawls at a depth range of 73-370 m. The survey was located between 39°-52°S and 55°-65°W.

Diversity, relative abundance, new locality records, and updated fish fauna of the Ross Sea region
Two surveys were carried out in the Ross Sea region during February and March 2004 and 2008 from the New Zealand RV Tangaroa. Fishes were sampled on the continental shelf and slope of the Ross Sea, and on adjacent seamounts to the north, mainly using a large demersal fish trawl and a large mesopelagic fish trawl. Parts of the shelf and slope were stratified by depth and at least three random de...
متن کاملA dual pathways transfer model to account for changes in the radioactive caesium level in demersal and pelagic fish after the Fukushima Daï-ichi nuclear power plant accident
The Fukushima Daï-ichi nuclear power plant (FDNPP) accident resulted in radioactive Cs being discharged into the local marine environment. While Cs bioaccumulates in biota and slowly depurates, the Cs concentrated in biota constitutes a source of Cs for animals feeding on each other. The marine biota therefore serves as a pool that recycles Cs, and this recycling process delays depuration in th...

Species-specific and spatially heterogeneous patterns of tissue meta...
متن کاملEvidence of demersal foraging from stable isotope analysis of juvenile elephant seals from Patagonia
Southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) are wide-ranging, deep-diving, generalist predators. Knowledge of their diet has come from analysis of stomach contents and feces and more recently from fatty acid and stable isotope analysis (Brown et al. 1999, Bradshaw et al. 2003, Lewis et al. 2006, Cherel et al. 2008, Ducatez et al. 2008). Elephant seal stomachs usually contain only a few indigesti...

This study was conducted to determine the proximate composition and energetic value of selected marine fish and shellfish from the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. This study has included 20 species of fish (10 pelagic fish and 10 demersal fish) and 4 species of shellfish. For pelagic fish, Longtail shad (terubuk) was found to contain significantly lower moisture (59.31+0.00%), but significan...
