To this end, we conducted an integrative characterization of the taxonomic diversity, distribution, and abundance of 2916 lanternfish specimens, representing 31 species, collected during the dry season (August–September 2021) across areas with varying levels of Amazon River plume influence. Based on a classification of relative importance, five species were classified as abundant and frequent, while the remaining species were predominantly classified as either scarce and frequent (nine species) or scarce and rare (17 species). In regard to vertical distribution, at least 20 of the 31 species were detected at night in epipelagic waters (0–200 m), displaying four distinct broad patterns of vertical migration and distribution. We showed that, while the Amazon Plume appears to influence lanternfish species richness and size distribution, depth is the primary variable explaining the structuring of lanternfish assemblages. Moreover, while diversity appears to be similar to other tropical regions of the Atlantic Ocean, there is a noticeable dominance of certain species, suggesting that the hydrographic structure and nutrient input from the Amazon River may favour specific species.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51009,"journal":{"name":"Deep-Sea Research Part I-Oceanographic Research Papers","volume":"225 ","pages":"Article 104572"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144893667","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}

Recent high-resolution oceanic products offer a valuable opportunity to advance understanding of this region.

Here, we assess the representation and variability of Warm Deep Water (WDW), Weddell Sea Deep Water (WSDW), and Weddell Sea Bottom Water (WSBW) in the 1/12° Global Ocean Physics Reanalysis (GLORYS12v1) between 1993 and 2020.

WDW shows a spurious freshening trend and a cool bias in Section SR4, diverging from the observed neutral salinity and warming trend. Moreover, WSDW and WSBW exhibit overestimated warming and salinification trends. These discrepancies are primarily linked to (i) a weakening of the Weddell Gyre, which limits inflow and renewal of deep waters; (ii) stronger westerlies enhancing Ekman transport and upwelling; and (iii) changes in sea ice concentration affecting deep convection. A complex maximum covariance analysis reveals strong decadal-scale covariability between the Weddell Gyre barotropic circulation and the thermohaline structure of deep water masses, especially WSDW and WSBW. Although GLORYS12v1 resolves many relevant processes, its overestimation of trends and underrepresentation of coastal dynamics highlight the need for improved vertical coordinate schemes, refined mixing parameterizations, and enhanced observational coverage to better capture the variability of deep waters in polar regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51009,"journal":{"name":"Deep-Sea Research Part I-Oceanographic Research Papers","volume":"225 ","pages":"Article 104599"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145219855","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}

Using over 7700 Argo float profiles from 2014 to 2024, we document a prominent westward modification in water mass structure across the Caribbean Sea. From the eastern to western Caribbean, we observe systematic increases in ocean heat content, a deepening of isopycnals, and a freshening and deepening of the subsurface salinity maximum. These changes result in a net mid-depth (∼50–500 m) density reduction of 0.40 ± 0.27 kg m<sup>-3</sup>. We hypothesize that regional variations in mesoscale eddy activity, complex bathymetry, and meridional wind stress curl gradients drive this transformation. The resulting water mass structure has critical implications for regional climate, weather, ecosystems, and sea level rise, as it modifies the density and stratification of source waters entering the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic western boundary current system.

This analysis includes 926,657 specimens, representing 74 species from 11 orders and 18 families. Using these data, we present relationships with environmental factors and a detailed species inventory illustrating diversity and dominance patterns. Distinct from other Southwestern Atlantic ecoregions, our findings reveal high species dominance coupled with relatively low diversity. Among the collected taxa, <em>Diaphus dumerilii</em> (Myctophidae) and <em>Maurolicus stehmanni</em> (Sternoptychidae) constituted over 90 % of all specimens. Analysis of their distribution in relation to water properties reveals that these species exhibit a greater tolerance to a broad range of temperature and salinity conditions, an adaptive trait that likely drives their ecological dominance in the deep-pelagic ecosystems of the study area. The dominance pattern held consistently across all fishing methods, though we observed notable variation in species diversity and abundance between collection techniques. This study provides an important assessment of the deep-pelagic fish fauna in this region, establishing a valuable baseline for future research targeting this largely unexplored fauna.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51009,"journal":{"name":"Deep-Sea Research Part I-Oceanographic Research Papers","volume":"225 ","pages":"Article 104591"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145049313","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}
