Abstract The transfer of momentum between the atmosphere and ocean is dependent upon the velocity difference between the seawater and overlying air. This is commonly known as relative wind, or ocean current interaction, and its direct effect is to damp mesoscale ocean e...

It is argued that existing polar prediction systems do not yet meet users’ needs; and possible ways forward in advancing prediction capacity in polar regions and beyond are outlined.\ud \ud The polar regions have been attracting more and more attention in recent years, ...

The European Union and other states are moving towards Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management to balance food production and security with wider ecosystem concerns. Fishing is only one of several sectors operating within the ocean environment, competing for renewable and ...

The conditions encountered by Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., in aquaculture are markedly different from the natural environment. Typically, farmed salmon experience much higher densities than wild individuals, and may therefore have adapted to living in high densities...

Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere is important to better understand the global carbon cycle, support the development of climate policies, and project future...

Abstract Salt marshes provide various ecosystem functions and services including flooding protection, wildlife habitats, and carbon storage. These functions and services could, however, be strongly impacted by anthropogenic activities such as livestock grazing – a commo...

Prokaryotic planktonic organisms are small in size but largely relevant in marine biogeochemical cycles. Due to their reduced size range (0.2 to 1 mu m in diameter), the effects of cell size on their metabolism have been hardly considered and are usually not examined in...

50th Anniversary Annual Symposium of the Fisheries-Society-of-the-British-Isles (FSBI) - Understanding Fish Populations Jul 03-07, 2017 Symposium paper SAMARCH project; International audience; Wild fish populations are currently experiencing unprecedented pressures, whi...

Highlights • Seawater dissolved inorganic carbon and nutrients measured for 1.5 seasonal cycles. • Inventories not in steady state from one winter to the next (e.g. 10% nitrate loss) • Significant fraction of annual production stored in long-lived organic matter pool. •...

Biodiversity and conservation data are generally costly to collect, particularly in the marine realm. Hence, data collected for a given—often scientific—purpose are occasionally contributed toward secondary needs, such as policy implementation or other types of decision...
