Siderophores are low molecular weight high affinity iron chelates found at low concentrations in seawater. In this study we determined the total concentrations and identities of siderophores in extracts isolated from a shelf sea environment on the Northwest European she...

Blue shark (Prionace glauca) is amongst the most abundant shark species in international trade, however this highly migratory species has little effective management and the need for spatio-temporal strategies increases, possibly involving the most vulnerable stage or s...

Temperature and light mainly drive seasonal dynamics of microbial planktonic diversity in coastal ecosystems; however, disentangling their effects is challenging because they are always tightly coupled. Shallow coastal lagoons exhibit intense temperature changes through...

Anthropogenic activities are driving rapid changes in aquatic environments. Numerous studies suggest that climatic shifts and anomalies will convey severe consequences for ecosystems worldwide, leading to disruptions in key processes within populations including larval ...

Thermal characteristics of kelp species have been studied in many ways, but potentially persistent effects of temperature across generations are yet poorly understood. In this context, the effect of thermal priming on fertility and growth of the N-Atlantic kelp species ...

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) cause harm to human health or hinder sustainable use of the marine environment in Blue Economy sectors. HABs are temporally and spatially variable and hence their mitigation is closely linked to effective early warning. The European Union (EU...

Submarine hydrothermal systems along active volcanic ridges and arcs are highly dynamic, responding to both oceanographic (e.g., currents, tides) and deep-seated geological forcing (e.g., magma eruption, seismicity, hydrothermalism, and crustal deformation, etc.). In pa...

The oceans are a fundamental source for climate balance, sustainability of resources and life on Earth, therefore society has a strong and pressing interest in maintaining and, where possible, restoring the health of the marine ecosystems. Effective, integrated ocean ob...
