Pacific cod (<i>Gadus macrocephalus</i>) is an economically and ecologically important species with demonstrated sensitivity to OW and OA, but their combined impacts are unknown. Through a ~ 9-week experiment, Pacific cod embryos and larvae were reared at one of six combinations of three temperatures (3, 6, 10 °C) and two CO<sub>2</sub> levels (ambient: ~ 360 μatm; high: ~ 1560 μatm) in a factorial design. Both embryonic and larval mortality were highest at the warmest temperature. Embryonic daily mortality rates were lower under elevated CO<sub>2</sub> and there was no effect of CO<sub>2</sub> level on larval daily mortality rates. Growth rates of young larvae (0 to 11 days post-hatch) were faster at warmer temperatures and at high CO<sub>2</sub> levels, but growth during the 11–28 days post-hatch interval increased by temperature alone. The condition of larvae decreased with age, but less markedly under high CO<sub>2</sub> levels. However, at 6 °C, fish incubated in ambient CO<sub>2</sub> remained in higher condition than fish in the high CO<sub>2</sub> treatment throughout the experiment. Overall, temperature had the greater influence on Pacific cod early life stages across each measurement endpoint, while CO<sub>2</sub> effects were more modest and inconsistent. Subtle developmental differences in larval Pacific cod could be magnified later in life and important in the context of recruitment.

Besides causing extensive mortality, the progressively shorter time between events disrupts the ability of reefs to recover. The unique reefs of the Southwestern Atlantic are often considered climate refugia as they have suffered less bleaching-related mortality when compared to Indo–Pacific and Caribbean reefs. However, their recovery capacity still requires investigation. In 2019, an unprecedented heatwave triggered the most severe bleaching episode recorded for Southwestern Atlantic reefs. Therefore, this study aimed to (i) document the bleaching incidence and mortality during the heatwave, and (ii) assess coral recovery over 3 years. We measured bleaching incidence and monitored coral cover through surveys in three Southern Bahia (central Brazilian coast) reefs before, during and after thermal stress. Our findings show that coral assemblages were exposed to a 5-month-long thermal anomaly, experiencing thermal stress peaking at 14.1 ºC-weeks. Roughly 70% of the coral cover was bleached, resulting in a decline of ~ 40%. <i>Millepora alcicornis</i>, <i>Mussismilia braziliensis</i>, and <i>Mussismilia harttii</i> were among species that mortality exceeded 50%. After 3 years, corals showed no increase in cover neither at assemblage nor species levels. This constrained recovery capacity may indicate the breakdown of the refugium, and also trade-off for resistance. Typical features of the region, such as high turbidity and the dominance of massive corals, provide these reefs with bleaching resistance, but likely also limit their recovery. With the anticipated effects of the 2023–24 El Niño–Southern Oscillation in the southern hemisphere, still unrecovered Southwestern Atlantic reefs face a substantial challenge.</p>","PeriodicalId":18365,"journal":{"name":"Marine Biology","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140614490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, our findings underscore the necessity for comprehensive conservation strategies to address risks associated with marine traffic and habitat alteration due to the expanding development of offshore wind farms in the region.

To do this, we tracked 60 birds using global location sensing loggers (GLS) over a single year between 2012 and 2016 with the exception of 8 individuals that were tracked over 2 consecutive years. Birds predominantly foraged in either the Sea of Okhotsk/North Pacific Ocean (Western strategy) or the southeast Bering Sea/North Pacific (Eastern strategy). The eight birds tracked for 2 consecutive years all returned to the same core areas, indicating that these birds were faithful to foraging areas between years, although the time spent there varied, probably in response to local changes in food availability. Overall, 50% of the birds we tracked left their core area towards the end of the non-breeding period, moving into the Chukchi Sea, suggesting that the birds have flexible intra-seasonal foraging strategies whereby they follow prey aggregations. We hypothesise that seasonal declines in chlorophyll<i> a</i> concentrations in their primary core foraging areas coincide with changes in the availability of large-bodied krill, an important food source for short-tailed shearwaters. Decreasing prey abundance likely prompts the movement of birds out of their core foraging areas in search of food elsewhere.

In this study, conventional (4,648) and electronic (18) tags were used to assess the horizontal and vertical movements of blue sharks, <i>Prionace glauca</i>, and their vertical overlap with shallow and deep-set longline fishing gears in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. Results revealed prolonged permanence in the area, large-scale displacements, including trans-equatorial, trans-Atlantic and Indian–Atlantic movements, and high daily displacement rates. Blue sharks showed an extensive use of the water column and considerable variability among and within individuals in vertical behavior, involving normal and reverse diel vertical migrations, surface-oriented behavior, extended use of mesopelagic waters, and occasional extreme dives into bathypelagic waters. Depth distribution appeared unrelated to size or sex but was influenced by the time of day and temperature, with deeper and colder temperatures consistently found during the day. The moon cycle affected the vertical distribution of some sharks but not others. Temperature-depth recorders deployed on hooks, combined with depth distribution from electronic tags, provided insightful information on the species’ vertical overlap with shallow- and deep-set longline configurations. Encounterability values were higher during nighttime and lower during daytime for both longline configurations, but were largely affected by the individuals’ vertical behavior, highlighting the importance of accounting for environmental conditions besides fishing gear configuration and métiers. This novel information on blue sharks’ movements and fishery interactions in the South Atlantic Ocean can inform future management and conservation strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":18365,"journal":{"name":"Marine Biology","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140316826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
