Researchers at UC Santa Cruz created a successful experimental aquaculture feed formulation for rainbow trout that fully ...

Marine life off the Los Angeles coast may still be impacted by the effects of a long-disused DDT dumping site, a report from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography and San Diego ...

"If this current 'engine' breaks down, there could be severe consequences, including more climate variability, with greater ...

A more acidic ocean will cause some types to grow slower, some to grow faster, and the balance among them to change, which could have big ripple effects for the higher levels of the food web.

If shellfish populations collapse, the animals that eat them will also suffer, with ripple effects throughout the ocean's food web. Two important planetary ecosystems, coral reefs and polar regions, ...

providing important fertilizer for ocean food webs. In Florida's coastal waters, young bull sharks feed during brief visits to the ocean, then return to safer, nearly freshwater rivers ...

Ocean ecosystems depend on these predators and ... Scientists have had difficulty studying their contribution to marine food webs, in part because they can't coax these organisms to grow in ...

DNA sequencing is making it possible for scientists to identify thousands of species of zooplankton – drifting animals that are key links in ocean food webs. Biologists are finding new evidence ...

goes up with each level of the food web. Zooplankton were twice as common at shallow seamounts than in the open ocean, while shark biomass was 41 times higher. "Our findings suggest that several ...

And now the humble sponge is central to a novel research project aimed at shoring up the ocean food web, as human-induced pressures like climate change and ocean-based industrialisation mount.

The best-performing algorithms suggest that the world may face a 7% to 10% decline in primary productivity of oceans, although this is likely to vary across ocean regions, with some areas set to ...
