Consequently, zooplankton and fish showed comparable horizontal distributions as temperature and chlorophyll. During periods of low wind velocities (< 6 m s⁻¹), water temperature was more evenly ...

It's spring, the sun is shining and something is about to happen with the plankton in the cold waters of the Arctic Ocean.

Undersea mountains are key locations for predators—with 41 times more sharks than the open ocean, new research shows.

Such quantities of phytoplankton can support increased numbers ... “Shallow seamounts are ‘oases’ and activity hubs for pelagic predators in a large-scale marine reserve.” ...

Where it lives: In the Pacific Ocean, off the west coast of North America (Alaska to Baja California, Mexico) What it eats: ...
