The relative contribution of pre- versus post-settlement processes in shaping adult populations has been extensively studied. Most analyses concluded that recruitment limitation is a strong determinant of adults’ density. The magnitude of its limitation depends on context, varies with species, and can be strongly modified by all the events preceding and following recruitment itself. A comparison of the outcome of recruitment limitation on hard- and soft-bottom communities has often been neglected. The rules governing these two environments, in both the inter- and the subtidal, might be inferred only by comparing and possibly integrating soft- and hard-bottom ecologies. The highly variable situation that larvae face in the water column is followed by the variability linked to local features, influencing, in its turn, larval settlement and juvenile survival (post-settlement period). A better knowledge of these processes will be possible only by focusing on their relative importance in the two environments and with research on the brief but significant time of larval settlement.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":100980,"journal":{"name":"Oceanologica Acta","volume":"25 6","pages":"Pages 285-295"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0399-1784(02)01194-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85024920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the surficial sediments of the frontal zone, however, oxygen penetrated to a depth of 4 cm, allowing oxic mineralisation processes to occur throughout the layer.

Such inputs enhance the mineralisation of </span>low molecular weight<span> monomers, whilst inhibiting the polymer hydrolysis processes. Conversely, in the deeper frontal zone, labile monomers become exhausted, decreasing the mineralisation rates. Concomitantly, bacteria have to develop ectoenzymatic activities in order to extract their carbon and energy from the available semi-labile polymers. Consequently, the theoretical relationship between the mineralisation and hydrolysis processes are tightly coupled in the upwelling area, and uncoupled in the frontal zone.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":100980,"journal":{"name":"Oceanologica Acta","volume":"25 6","pages":"Pages 315-324"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0399-1784(02)01205-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77288378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we review how new technologies might be applied to salmon in particular. Our conclusion is that animals as small as juvenile Pacific salmon can be followed for months to years at sea, and thus over great distances. By identifying the migration pathways for individual salmon and specific populations of Pacific salmon, we can establish their ocean foraging grounds. We outline the approaches and initial results from the Census of Marine Life<span> program pacific ocean salmon tracking (POST). The research program involves two distinct aspects: (1) the development of an acoustic array<span> for tracking the movements of Pacific salmon during their shelf-resident phase of the life history and (2) the use of archival (data storage) tags to measure aspects of their local environment and to delineate their open ocean migration pathways off the shelf.
