This paper explores the habitat characteristics of commercial tuna species based on daily oceanography parameters in the Eastern Indian Ocean Off Java-Bali Waters. Moreover, more research is needed combining the daily spatial distribution of oceanographic variables of surface and sub-surface data to analyse the habitat characteristics of large pelagic fish, including tuna species. In this study, we used five main daily oceanography parameters: sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface chlorophyll (CHLa), sea surface height (SSH), dissolved oxygen at 100m (DO100), the temperature at 100m (temp100) and the combination of the catch of yellowfin (YFT), albacore (ALT) and bigeye (BET) tuna that use long lines. To analyse the relationship between the environmental database and tuna catch, we utilized Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) from univariate variables until the combination of all variables. The result stated that all the variables influence the existence of all tuna species with P-values <0.001. Temperature is the most critical predictor variable, SST is the most vital predictor for BET and YFT tuna, and temp100 is the most critical for ALT. The second most essential variables were DO100 for BET, Temp 100 for YFT, and SSH for ALT. Moreover, BET and YFT prefer to stay at a lower temp100, and ALT tuna remains at a higher temp100. However, all of them avoid an SST higher than 29 °C. Further assessment of the long-term SST trend specific to tuna species is required to fully account for the effects of global warming on the oceans.
本文根据东印度洋爪哇-峇里水域的每日海洋学参数,探讨商业金枪鱼物种的栖息地特征。此外,还需要开展更多的研究,结合表层和次表层海洋学变量的日空间分布数据,分析包括金枪鱼物种在内的大型中上层鱼类的栖息地特征。在这项研究中,我们使用了五个主要的日海洋学参数:海面温度(SST)、海面叶绿素(CHLa)、海面高度(SSH)、100 米处溶解氧(DO100)、100 米处温度(temp100)以及使用长线捕捞的黄鳍金枪鱼(YFT)、长鳍金枪鱼(ALT)和大眼金枪鱼(BET)的渔获量组合。为了分析环境数据库与金枪鱼渔获量之间的关系,我们利用了从单变量到所有变量组合的广义相加模型(GAMs)。结果表明,所有变量都会影响所有金枪鱼物种的存在,P 值均为 0.001。温度是最关键的预测变量,SST 是 BET 和 YFT 金枪鱼最重要的预测变量,temp100 是 ALT 最关键的预测变量。其次是 BET 的 DO100、YFT 的 Temp 100 和 ALT 的 SSH。此外,BET 和 YFT 金枪鱼喜欢保持较低的温度 100,而 ALT 金枪鱼则保持较高的温度 100。然而,它们都避免海温超过 29 °C。需要进一步评估金枪鱼物种特有的长期海温趋势,以充分考虑全球变暖对海洋的影响。

Numerous temporal and spatial patterns of natural climate variability have been characterized. By analyzing standardized and detrended sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) along the coast from 1950 to 2023, this study identifies two dominant modes of ocean variability in the Northeast Pacific Boundary Current (NEPBC) which includes the California and Alaska currents. The first mode is the prevalent pattern of interannual variability associated with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation. A second mode arises as an independent dipole between the coasts of North and Central America, with the strongest intensities on a portion of the NEPBC (38°-53°N) and the Eastern Pacific warm pool (EPWP, 2°S-15°N). The difference in SSTA between the two regions appears to be caused by variations in the intensity and distribution of atmospheric pressure fields and it is related with the Pacific Meridional Mode and North Pacific Oscillation. Such coastal mode will provide the opportunity to describe the interactions of coastal processes with climate indices capturing larger-scale phenomena.

The formation of Arabian Sea High Salinity Water (ASHSW) during the winter monsoon in the northern Arabian Sea is driven by surface buoyancy loss, which increases surface density and triggers convective mixing. The depth of convective mixing is influenced by the interplay between surface cooling (buoyancy loss) and upper-ocean stratification. Mesoscale eddies present during winter can alter this stratification and modulate convective mixing. We investigated the impact of these eddies on convective mixing and ASHSW formation utilizing a combination of observations, data assimilative model results, and 1-D and 3-D model experiments. Our analyses consistently demonstrate that the depth of winter convective mixing is influenced by the stratification imposed by mesoscale features, resulting in distinct mixing characteristics. When subjected to identical buoyancy forcing, convective mixing associated with cyclonic eddies occurs at shallower depths compared to anticyclonic eddies. This difference is particularly pronounced during the peak period of convective mixing (January–February), exceeding 50 m, compared to the early stages (November–December). The combined effect of cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies generates spatially inhomogeneous convective mixing, which cannot be solely explained by buoyancy flux. These conclusions are supported by Argo observations and analyses of 1-D and 3-D model experiments. Overall, our study highlights the significant role of mesoscale eddies in modulating convective mixing and ASHSW formation in the northern Arabian Sea.

Moving weather systems determine the history of wind variations with patterns as the systems transit through the ocean. These weather systems are integrated entities that can provide a system level perspective. A vessel-based survey repeatedly occupying a 30-km transect 12 times in 36 h provided non-aliased measurements of velocity field that showed how the along-shelf transport varied by more than three-fold in response to a transiting high-pressure weather system following an atmospheric cold front. To further illustrate the impact of different weather systems, we analyzed time series data from moored ADCPs, which showed influence on the velocity field from infrequent summertime cold fronts and remote hurricanes moving through the region, one on the west and the other on the east of the study site. Rotary spectrum analysis showed that the flow field rotated mostly clockwise with a smaller but non-negligible counterclockwise component, consistent with near inertial oscillations mixed with weak tidal currents. A theoretical model is presented by a Laplace transform and a general relationship between the velocity field and forcing functions is obtained, which shows that the contributions to the rotary velocity field from various forcing functions are through mathematical convolutions between the forcing functions and the complex frictional-rotary inertial function (CFRIF). These convolutions include an integrated effect of history of the forcing. CFRIF is effectively a frictional rotary filter that favors inertial oscillations. The wind-stress induced velocity field over a few days is computed and it shows significant variations after the passage of a cold front, with a magnitude consistent with observations. The wind-stress induced velocity is a few times greater than the density driven flow during the ship-based observations. The weather systems passing through the region can impact coastal currents causing a great variability over short time scales.

Theories of ocean–atmosphere interaction during a Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) are generally based on a thermodynamic model with surface fluxes dictating changes in sea surface temperature. Evidence from a two month ocean glider deployment in early 2019 in the southeast Indian Ocean suggests the impact of mesoscale dynamics on upper-ocean stratification likely affects ocean–atmosphere interaction at MJO scales. Until mid-February, local surface fluxes consistent with a convectively suppressed MJO phase drove near-surface ocean evolution. With the advection of a fresh-core eddy to the glider location in late February, ocean dynamics then becomes an additional driver of this evolution by modulating local stratification and generating a barrier layer of ≈12 m thickness for 10 days. One-dimensional modelling experiments based on the ocean and atmospheric conditions experienced during our sampling period show that the ocean subsurface structure within the eddy induce changes in SST of physical significance for ocean-atmosphere interaction. Moreover, results also suggest that the presence of a thick eddy-induced barrier layer during the MJO suppressed phase modulates the magnitude of temperature anomalies forced by surface fluxes during the following enhanced MJO phase. As eddies are abundant in this area, their dynamics must be considered to correctly represent SST variability for MJO modelling.

The Antarctic environment offers a unique opportunity to study the interactions between Porifera and their microbial symbionts. Reports on the association between prokaryotes and Antarctic sponges are increasing. However, a comparison of the bacterial communities associated to the same sponge species but inhabiting different Antarctic areas has seldom been addressed. This study explored the prokaryotes associated with the sponge species Mycale (Oxymycale) acerata (Kirkpatrick, 1907) and Dendrilla antarctica (Topsent, 1905) collected from South Cove at Rothera Point (Antarctic Peninsula) and Thetys Bay (Ross Sea). In D. antarctica, some groups were equally represented at both sites (e.g., Amylibacter, Cutibacterium, Yoonia-Loktanella), whereas members in the genera Polaribacter and Kistimonas were more abundant in Rothera. Similarly, M. acerata individuals collected from Rothera showed a higher relative abundance of some bacterial genera, such as Polaribacter, Sulfitobacter, and Ulvibacter. The results allowed us to identify some taxa common to sponges belonging to the same species and highlighted the possible influence of site-specific environmental conditions in shaping symbionts.

Studies on the bathyal fauna of northern Pacific waters suggested that a transition or boundary between the North Pacific Province and Central Pacific Provinces would be found somewhere along the Emperor Seamount Chain. Strong currents flow west to east across the seamount chain in a region known as the Main Gap and it was proposed that any larvae produced either north or south of the Main Gap would not be capable of crossing the gap. An expedition to test the hypothesis that a faunal change would be found in the vicinity of the Main Gap was conducted in 2019. Eleven ROV dives were conducted, one on an unnamed seamount at the southern edge of Hess Rise, and 10 dives on seven seamounts along the Emperor Seamount Chain. Six dives were on seamounts north of the Main Gap, while four (including the dive on Hess Rise) were on the southern side. Of the six northern dives, three were at deeper depths (∼2000–1800 m) and three were shallower (∼1500–1100 m); of the southern dives two were at the deeper depths and two were shallower. One shallower dive occurred on Jingu Seamount, situated on the southern edge of the Main Gap. Analysis of the fauna from both collected specimens and annotations of the dive video produced four clusters: a, the four dives south of the Main Gap; b, the three deeper dives north of the Main Gap; c, the shallower dive at Jingu Seamount; and d, the four shallower bathyal dives north of the Main Gap. It was concluded that the bathyal fauna underwent a significant change from north to south across the area of the Main Gap and the adjacent Small Gap, in the area of 37–39 °N, covering distances as small as 75 km or as much as 400 km.

It was concluded that the bathyal fauna underwent a significant change from north to south across the area of the Main Gap and the adjacent Small Gap, in the area of 37–39 °N, covering distances as small as 75 km or as much as 400 km.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11120,"journal":{"name":"Deep-sea Research Part Ii-topical Studies in Oceanography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141249523","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}

The Ross Sea is characterized by a series of subsystems with different characteristics making it an extremely productive area. To understand whether species composition and functional traits of the plankton community can be used as biological tracers, we have analyzed the composition of phytoplankton and microzooplankton, and their potential relationships, in two different polynyas of the Ross Sea during the austral summer 2017. Sampling activities were carried out near Terra Nova Bay, between Cape Washington and the northern shore of the Drygalski Ice Tongue, and in the South-Central Ross Sea. We investigated the phytoplankton and microzooplankton structure using the phytoplankton body size classes and the tintinnids lorica oral diameter as functional traits, speculating on the relationship between the two plankton communities and their use as biological indicators in a changing Southern Ocean. Our data showed significant differences in terms of plankton composition and related functional traits between the two areas, suggesting the existence of distinct ecological dynamics despite the similar total carbon content. In Terra Nova Bay, heterotrophic dinoflagellates were the most abundant microzooplankton, in association with a large phytoplankton biomass mainly represented by diatoms and nano- and micro-phytoplankton. Tintinnids with large lorica oral diameters were abundant in Central Ross Sea, where phytoplankton was dominated by Phaeocystis antarctica and by the micro size class. Among microzooplankton, Protoperidinium defectum, P. applanatum and P. incertum were the most abundant dinoflagellates species, while Codonellopsis gaussi, C. gaussi forma cylindroconica, Laackmanniella prolongata and Cymatocylis drygalskii were the most abundant tintinnids. The phytoplankton was dominated by diatoms Pseudo-nitzschia subcurvata, Fragilariopsis cylindrus, F. curta and by the haptophyte P. antarctica. Our data indicate that beyond physical and chemical features defining distinct sectors of the Ross Sea, both species composition and functional traits of phytoplankton and microzooplankton represent a valid monitoring tool, especially with the ongoing global warming and its effects on Antarctic food webs.
罗斯海由一系列具有不同特征的子系统组成,是一个极富生产力的区域。为了了解浮游生物群落的物种组成和功能特征是否可用作生物示踪剂,我们分析了罗斯海两个不同多水层在 2017 年夏季的浮游植物和微型浮游动物组成及其潜在关系。采样活动在华盛顿角和 Drygalski 冰舌北岸之间的 Terra Nova 海湾附近以及罗斯海中南部进行。我们以浮游植物的体型等级和鳍鳕的口径作为功能特征,调查了浮游植物和微浮游动物的结构,推测这两种浮游生物群落之间的关系,以及它们在不断变化的南大洋中作为生物指标的用途。我们的数据显示,两个地区的浮游生物组成和相关功能特征存在显著差异,表明尽管总碳含量相似,但存在不同的生态动态。在 Terra Nova 湾,异养甲藻是最丰富的微型浮游动物,与此同时,浮游植物的生物量也很大,主要是硅藻、纳米和微型浮游植物。罗斯海中部有大量口径较大的鳍鳕,那里的浮游植物主要是 Phaeocystis antarctica 和微型浮游植物。在微浮游动物中,Protoperidinium defectum、P. applanatum 和 P. incertum 是最丰富的甲藻种类,而 Codonellopsis gaussi、C. gaussi forma cylindroconica、Laackmanniella prolongata 和 Cymatocylis drygalskii 是最丰富的褐藻种类。浮游植物主要是硅藻 Pseudo-nitzschia subcurvata、Fragilariopsis cylindrus、F. curta 和合藻 P. antarctica。我们的数据表明,除了界定罗斯海不同区域的物理和化学特征外,浮游植物和微型浮游动物的物种组成和功能特征也是一种有效的监测工具,特别是在全球持续变暖及其对南极食物网的影响的情况下。

The marine environment is a crucial component of global biogeochemical cycles. Recent BGC-Argo observations provide new opportunities to study the profiles of biogeochemical parameters. The study analyzed the diurnal variations of temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a and dissolved oxygen using a high-frequency (∼5 h) cycle BGC-Argo float in the Bay of Bengal. The hydrography showed the existence of a strong barrier layer with a thickness of around 30 m, with fresh water on top and an inversion layer within it. Analysis showed that the Mixed Layer Depth (MLD) was dominated by diffuse convection, while the Isothermal Layer Depth (ILD) exhibited salt-fingering regimes. In the upper layer (0–60 m), temperature showed significant variation on a daily scale; however, notable changes were not observed for salinity. Additionally, temperature and chlorophyll-a were found to be strongly linked to solar insolation. The mean chlorophyll-a in the upper layer increased from 0600 h and peaked around 1800 h local time. However, surface chlorophyll-a increased only from 1100 h to 1800 h. It is suggested that this difference between surface and mean chlorophyll-a during high availability of sunlight was due to the process of photoacclimation. The dissolved oxygen cycle closely followed the variability of biomass production. The similarity between dissolved oxygen and the difference between the surface and mean chlorophyll-a further indicated photoacclimation variations on a diurnal scale. The Sverdrup model was used to indicate luminosity and an accumulation time of 14 h was used to show a strong correlation with diel chlorophyll-a variation. The work highlights the importance of having high-frequency BGC-Argo floats with finer vertical resolution and the need for time-series observations of biological parameters in the Bay of Bengal.
