Abstract Fishes are the dominant vertebrates in ocean, yet we know little of their contribution to carbon export flux at regional global scales. We synthesize existing information on fish‐based coastal and pelagic waters, identify gaps challenges measuring this approaches address them, recommend research priorities. Based our synthesis passive (fecal pellet sinking) active (migratory) fishes, estimated that fishes contribute an average (± standard deviation) about 16.1% 13%) total out...
The OceanGliders program started in 2016 to support active coordination and enhancement of global glider activity. contributes the international efforts Global Ocean Observation System (GOOS) for Climate, Health, Operational Services. It brings together marine scientists engineers operating gliders around world: (1) observe long-term physical, biogeochemical, biological ocean processes phenomena that are relevant societal applications; and, (2) contribute GOOS through real-time delayed mode...
The West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) has experienced significant change over the last 50 years. Using a 24 year spatial time series collected by Palmer Long Term Ecological Research programme, we assessed long-term patterns in sea ice, upper mixed layer depth (MLD) and phytoplankton productivity. number of ice days steadily declined from 1980s until recent reversal that began 2008. Results show regional differences between northern southern regions sampled during ship surveys conducted each...
Important findings from the second decade of 21st century on impact environmental change biological processes in Antarctic were synthesised by 26 international experts. Ten key messages emerged that have stakeholder-relevance and/or a high for scientific community. They address (i) altered biogeochemical cycles, (ii) ocean acidification, (iii) climate hotspots, (iv) unexpected dynamism seabed-dwelling populations, (v) spatial range shifts, (vi) adaptation and thermal resilience, (vii) sea...
In the last decade, ocean has absorbed a quarter of Earth's greenhouse gas emissions through carbon (C) cycle, naturally occurring process. Aspects C cycle are now being incorporated into climate change mitigation and adaptation plans. Currently, too little is known about marine vertebrate functions for their inclusion in policies. Fortunately, biology, behavior, ecology lens nutrient cycling flux an emerging area research that rich existing data. This review uses literature trusted data...
Abstract Climate change is causing persistent, widespread, and significant impacts on marine ecosystems which are predicted to interact intensify. Overfishing associated habitat degradation have put many fish populations at risk making the ocean more vulnerable climate less capable of buffering against its effects. In this Perspective, we review how overfishing disrupting important role vertebrates in carbon cycle, disturbance damage carbon-rich seabed, contributing rising greenhouse gas...
Microplastic (MP) pollution has been widely reported across water matrices including in estuaries, which are important for the understanding of oceanic MPs. Estuaries can greatly alter fate, transport, size distribution, and abundance plastic pollution. The aim this study was to quantify characterize MP Delaware Bay estuary USA, distribution. Samples (N=31) were collected from mouth River coastal ocean multiple frontal zones two sampling campaigns (2019 2022). extracted particles using wet...
Rapidly sinking fecal pellets are an important component of the vertical flux particulate organic matter (POM) from surface to ocean's interior; however, few studies have examined role fish play in this export. We determined abundance, size, prey composition, carbon/nitrogen (POC/PON) and rates produced by a forage fish, likely northern anchovy, Santa Barbara Channel. Pellet abundance ranged 0.1–5.9 m−3. POC PON contents averaged 21.7 µg C pellet−1 2.7 N pellet−1. The rate 787 m d−1; thus at...
Ocean acidification has a wide-ranging potential for impacting the physiology and metabolism of zooplankton. Sufficiently elevated CO2 concentrations can alter internal acid-base balance, compromising homeostatic regulation disrupting systems ranging from oxygen transport to ion balance. We assessed feeding nutrient excretion rates in natural populations keystone species Euphausia superba (Antarctic krill) by conducting perturbation experiment at ambient atmospheric levels January 2011 along...
Extreme climate and weather events, such as a drought, hurricanes, or ice storms, can strongly imprint ecosystem processing may alter structure. Ecosystems in extreme environments are particularly vulnerable because of their adaptation to severe limitations energy, water, nutrients. The vulnerability be expressed relatively long-lasting response small brief change environmental conditions. Such an event occurred Antarctica affected two vastly different ecosystems: marine-dominated coastal...
Over the last decade, ocean temperature on U.S. Northeast Continental Shelf (U.S. NES) has warmed faster than global average and is associated with observed distribution changes of northern stock black sea bass (Centropristis striata). Mechanistic models based physiological responses to environmental conditions can improve future habitat suitability projections. We measured maximum, standard metabolic rate, hypoxia tolerance (Scrit) adult assess performance across known range species. Two...
The West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is home to large breeding colonies of the ice-dependent Adelie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae). Although entire inner continental shelf highly productive, with abundant phytoplankton and krill populations, are distributed heterogeneously along WAP (Ducklow et al., 2013, in this issue). This ecological conundrum targets a long-standing question interest: what environmental factors structure locations hot spots throughout WAP?
Coastal and ocean acidification can alter biogeochemistry, with ecological consequences that may result in economic cultural losses. Yet few time series high resolution spatial temporal measurements exist to track the existence movement of water low pH and/or carbonate saturation. Past monitoring efforts have either (mooring) or cost (research cruises). We developed first integrated glider platform sensor system for sampling throughout column coastal ocean. A deep ISFET (Ion Sensitive Field...
The U.S. northeast shelf (USNES) has been experiencing rapid ocean warming, which is changing the thermal environment that marine species inhabit. To determine effect of current and future warming on distribution five important USNES fish (Atlantic cod [ Gadus morhua ], black sea bass Centropristis striata cunner Tautogolabrus adspersus spiny dogfish Squalus acanthias summer flounder Paralichthys dentatus ]), we applied species-specific physiological parameters from laboratory studies to...
Abstract Ocean acidification, caused by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and coastal physical, biological, chemical processes, is an ongoing threat to carbonate-utilizing organisms living in productive shelves. Bivalves exposed acidification have shown reduced growth, reproduction, metabolic with larval stages exhibiting the greatest susceptibility. Here, we compile results from published studies on bivalve growth responses estimate a relationship between seawater aragonite saturation...
Several initiatives to conserve, restore or better manage fisheries, fishes, whales, and other marine mammals have been proposed as natural climate solutions sequester carbon from the atmosphere avoid new emissions. We reviewed knowledge uncertainties surrounding fluxes storage mediated by these organisms evaluate their suitability support mitigation interventions. Estimates of stored within fish mammal biomass ranged 0.1-1.9 Pg C for mesopelagic 0.0020-0.016 great 0.0065-0.0113 all mammals,...
To curb the effects of climate change due to fossil fuel burning and in accordance with Paris Climate Agreement, offshore wind has been put forward as a renewable energy source Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB) on East Coast, USA. With collective goal 51 gigawatts power, MAB states are at forefront this development. The is also an incredibly dynamic ocean region characterized by one largest seasonal temperature cycles world. This variability dominated distinctly cold, nutrient-dense, “pocket” bottom...
