Here, we report an apparent “trapezoidal” relationship between chlorophyll concentrations (Chl) and surface photosynthetically available radiation (PAR(0)) at the center of the South Pacific Gyre (cSPG) based on 18 years of MODIS Aqua measurements. A comparison of Chl with a photoacclimation model revealed that photoacclimation alone could not explain the temporal dynamics of Chl. Instead, the Chl dynamics were explained by a combination of photoacclimation, nutrient limitation, and the grazing pressure of zooplankton at different times throughout the year. An annual “trapezoidal” spiral relationship between Chl and PAR(0) suggested that the steady state of phytoplankton populations at the cSPG could be influenced by the alternation of co-regulation mechanisms during a year. Because this same pattern occurs in other subtropical gyres, this understanding of the underlying mechanisms not only facilitates simulating and forecasting phytoplankton dynamics but also provides a new perspective on how multiple stressors may impact phytoplankton communities in a warmer climate.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20620,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Oceanography","volume":"225 ","pages":"Article 103281"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141024867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We employed rRNA gene transcript-based high-throughput sequencing on 189 samples collected from both the photic and mesopelagic zones, along with seasonal observations, to understand the South China Sea’s protistan-bacterial microbiota diversity, drivers, and mechanisms. Mesopelagic communities displayed unexpectedly greater seasonal but less vertical dynamics than photic counterparts. Temperature, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, and bacterial abundance drove mesopelagic communities vertically. Photic zone processes (using net community production and mixed layer depth as proxies) of past seasons, coinciding with strong monsoon periods, shaped seasonal fluctuations in mesopelagic communities, indicating a time-lag effect. Furthermore, certain microbes were identified as indicators for beta diversity by depth and season. This investigation deepens our understanding of how and why mesopelagic communities vary with season and depth. Recognizing the time-lagged effect of photic zone processes on mesopelagic communities is crucial for understanding the current and future configurations of the ocean microbiome, especially in the context of climate change and its effect on carbon export and ocean storage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20620,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Oceanography","volume":"225 ","pages":"Article 103280"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141067524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Climate variability affects the population dynamics of this stock throughout its life stages, especially early life stages, since they are particularly susceptible to environmental changes. In recent decades, warm and cold stanzas (i.e., 3–5 year periods) have been observed in the EBS, and there is evidence that they can modulate the recruitment of this stock, causing important socioeconomic impacts. Using a mechanistic individual-based model, this study investigates the spatial and temporal variability of growth and survival of Pacific cod's early life stages during 2000–2020. We examined changes by year and over space and compared our results with published literature to validate our model. We found that temperature played a key role in modulating the survival of fish larvae, observing an increase in starvation events in warmer years or locations. Periods or areas with low prey density, especially small-bodied copepods, also contributed to increased starvation. The average temperature in the fish habitat was negatively correlated with recruitment estimates from the stock assessment model. Growth was primarily temperature-driven; however, food-limited growth became more frequent when larvae were smaller during cold years. Spatially, we found that the environmental conditions in the southeastern Bering Sea may favor larval survival but reduce growth, and higher mortality may be persistent on the middle and outer shelf. Our model produces results that agree with previous field studies, and it offers a valuable tool to investigate other ecological questions on the impact of the environment on early life stages of fishes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20620,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Oceanography","volume":"225 ","pages":"Article 103282"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140950939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A seasonal match or mismatch at the lower trophic levels (phytoplankton and zooplankton) is central in determining how much energy and biomass is available for higher trophic levels (fish). Here, we quantify the inflow of the copepod <em>Calanus finmarchicus</em> into the Vestfjorden fjord system using high-resolution measurements of ocean currents and zooplankton (laser optical plankton counter). We evaluate a spatio-temporal match/mismatch between the phytoplankton bloom and <em>Calanus</em> and assess the input of advected copeods at the lower trophic level fjord and shelf food web based on an integrative approach employing stable isotope analyses (C, N), fatty acid trophic marker analyses, and biovolume spectrum analyses. Our results suggest two different sources of the <em>Calanus</em> population in the fjord/shelf system: one fraction overwintered locally and started ascending early to feed on the phytoplankton bloom that peaked around April 11. The other fraction had only recently (end of April) been and still was being advected from the oceanic overwintering habitats. Ca. 119 g C/s of <em>Calanus</em> were advected into the fjord, comparable to the biomass of <em>Calanus</em> advected into an Arctic fjord, and the mesozooplankton community was dominated by the copepod. The fjord food web was tightly coupled between the phytoplankton spring bloom, the local part of the <em>Calanus</em> population (trophic level 1.8–2.4) and cod larvae (high levels of wax esters). On the shelf, our results suggest that the impact of advected <em>Calanus</em> in the food web is at its starting point (low trophic level, large difference of δ¹³C of POM and <em>Calanus</em>). We highlight important factors that can contribute to the successful spawning of Northeast Arctic cod: an extended phytoplankton bloom that can support both locally and advected <em>Calanus</em>, which in turn can supply the essential nauplii prey for first-feeding cod larvae.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20620,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Oceanography","volume":"224 ","pages":"Article 103268"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0079661124000740/pdfft?md5=a6c67e5daf1a9e6b42edd38a56fd5909&pid=1-s2.0-S0079661124000740-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140893512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the diet of common minke whales <em>Balaenoptera acutorostrata</em> was assessed both in terms of short-term (morphological analyses of digestive tract contents) and longer-term (tissue chemical markers: fatty acids and stable isotopes) prey use in the northern Barents Sea to see if they are prey shifting. Samples (blubber cores, muscle, and stomach contents) were obtained from 158 common minke whales taken during Norwegian commercial whaling operations during summer over the period 2016–2020. Two prey items, capelin <em>Mallotus villosus</em> and krill (primarily <em>Thysanoessa</em> sp.), dominated the stomach contents in the entire period of investigation, which included sampling both in June and in August, similar to findings from earlier studies. A few gadoids were also observed in the whale stomachs. Lower blubber fatty acid (FA) contents in 2016/2017 as compared with 2018/2019 were observed. This is most likely explained by differences in sampling time (June in 2016/2017 vs August in 2018/2019, i.e., after a longer feeding period during the summer in the latter case). This explanation also fits with the fact that FA profiles of the 2018/2019 whales were more similar to the FA profiles of the potential prey, presumably reflecting the two months longer assimilation time for these whales. Multidimensional mixing models based on carbon and nitrogen isotope composition of the most likely prey groups suggested that the whales ate mostly krill in four of the five sampling years. In 2018 there were indications of a higher proportion of gadoid fish, showing some dietary flexibility. The trophic level of the whales’ feeding, as interpreted from the nitrogen isotope values, was positively correlated with blubber thickness suggesting that fish-eaters tended to assimilate more energy than whales that focused more exclusively on lower trophic prey. The variation suggested by different dietary analyses methods − stomach contents, fatty acids, and stable isotopes – most likely reflects different turnover times, with muscle stable isotopes likely representing several months of dietary integration, while lipid stores are more dynamic and may represent weeks, and stomach contents represent feeding events during the last few hours. The change in diet of minke whales from small pelagic fishes (in the past) to a greater quantity of krill and demersal fish (seen in this study) suggests that the whales are responding to the ongoing borealization of the Barents Sea ecosystem.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20620,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Oceanography","volume":"224 ","pages":"Article 103267"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140879298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the region influenced by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, nutrient concentrations were increased by nutrients supplied from the deep layer and by organic matter decomposition and remineralization within the seasonal pycnocline after the development of strong stratification. Strong stratification also enhanced phytoplankton growth and nutrient consumption by photosynthesis. In contrast, in the subpolar region, nutrient concentrations were increased by nutrients supplied by brine discharged during sea ice formation and decreased by dilution with sea ice meltwater. Although high salinity in the surface and subsurface layers corresponded well to upwelling areas around subpolar subgyres, high salinity was not necessarily correlated with nutrient concentrations. We estimated primary production both from in situ nutrient data and from satellite-acquired chlorophyll-<em>a</em> data. According to both estimation methods, primary production was high in the subpolar region, especially around 120 − 130°E. However, nutrient-based estimation also showed high production in coastal areas where, because of sea ice and cloud cover, estimation based on satellite data was not possible.
