Arctic zooplankton enjoy life in slow lane – The world’s largest daily commute happens in our oceans, as fish and zooplankton – key components in the food web – travel […]
Climate change is overhauling marine nutrient cycles. Computer models reveal how human-driven climate change will dramatically overhaul critical nutrient cycles in the ocean. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of […]
PML scientist announced as new Chair of intergovernmental working group. Dr Sevrine Sailley, Ecosystem Modeller at Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), has been appointed Chair for the International Council for the Exploration of […]
Microplastics widespread in seafood people eat. The tiny particles that shed from clothing, packaging and other plastic products are winding up in the fish that people eat, according to a […]
How do marine food webs respond to increasing alkalinity? To mitigate climate change, human-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions must be reduced as quickly and drastically as possible. Additionally, some of […]
Snow crab collapse due to ecological shift in the Bering Sea NA Fisheries scientists attribute the abrupt collapse of snow crab in Alaska to borealization, or an ecological shift from […]
Measuring microplastic pollution in the marine food chain. Testing for levels of microplastic contamination in marine plankton aims to help develop new ways to assess and manage the rising global […]
A belly full of jelly. For a long time, scientists assumed that jellyfish were a dead-end food source for predatory fish. However, a team from the Alfred Wegener Institute together […]
Smart cuisine may be solution to marine invasive species. Invasive species come in different shapes and sizes and can cause an impact in global biodiversity and in ecosystem function worldwide. […]
Marine Instruments launches ‘Dawn Sounding Detail’ for better tuna detection. ‘Dawn sounding detail’ is the name of the new MSB+ software functionality recently launched by the technology company Marine Instruments. […]
Marine heat waves disrupt the ocean food web in the northeast Pacific Ocean. Marine heat waves in the northeast Pacific Ocean create ongoing and complex disruptions of the ocean food […]
Significant impact of global warming on biodiversity in European seas. Over the past 40 years, the Atlantic Ocean has experienced a tropicalisation of its communities, with an increase in the […]
Decline in microbial genetic richness in the western Arctic Ocean. Small but statistically significant results point to the need for future study, say David Walsh and Arthi Ramachandran. The Arctic […]
What happens to biodegradable plastics if they enter the sea? A new study by Plymouth Marine Laboratory, investigates what happens when biodegradable plastics enter the ocean, and whether these increasingly […]
NOAA Fisheries releases 2023 Ecosystem Status Reports for Alaska. NOAA Fisheries has released the 2023 Ecosystem Status Reports for the eastern Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska. These […]
Adapting to hypoxia: Zooplankton influence the efficiency of the biological carbon pump in the Humboldt Current off Peru. In the ocean, organic particles from the sunlit surface water sink to […]
Drifting crustaceans could hold key to climate change. The vast quantity of tiny animals in the global ocean could play a vital role in slowing climate change, scientists say. The […]
Holographic cameras bring sea lice early warning system into focus. A team of researchers in Scotland is exploring the use of holographic 3D imaging, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) […]
Explosion in fish biodiversity due to genetic recycling. Scientists show the extraordinary diversity of cichlid fish in Africa’s Lake Victoria was made possible by ‘genetic recycling’ — repeated cycles of […]
