This deteriorating sea fan Hypnogorgia pendula looks like a zombie from the deep, the gorgonian octocoral was located on mesophotic reefs situated below the oil slick of Deepwater Horizon for ...
Why Nutrient-Enriched Waters Favor Large Single-Ce...
Ecological studies show that bottom-up (e.g., nutrient input) and top-down (e.g., grazing/predation) pressuresmay change the structure of aquatic ecosystems with 'cascading' effectsthroughoutthe food chain. Recent research supportsthat zooplankton grazing in ...

Tidal hydrodynamics under future sea level rise and coastal morphology in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
This study examines the integrated influence of sea level rise (SLR) and future morphology on tidal hydrodynamics along the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) coast including seven embayments and three ecologically and economically significant estuaries. A large-domain hydrodynamic model was ...
U.S. Shrimp Market Integration
Recent supply shocks in the Gulf of Mexico—including hurricanes, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the seasonal appearance of a large dead zone of low oxygen water (hypoxia)—have raised concerns about the economic viability of the U.S. shrimp fishery. The ...
Upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α mRNA levels in dragonet Callionymus valenciennei exposed to environmental hypoxia in Tokyo Bay
There is an urgent need to develop reliable biomarkers of environmental hypoxia exposure in marine organisms in order to assess the ecological impacts of the marked increase in coastal hypoxia worldwide. Full-length hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1α and HIF-2α cDNAs were cloned ...
White paper on Gulf of Mexico mercury fate and transport: applying scientific research to reduce the risk from mercury in Gulf of Mexico seafood
This white paper provides back ground and rationale for the priorities laid out in the Action Plan and summarizes our current understanding of mercury in the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. In addition, the Action Plan emphasizes the identification of special ...
Working with video to improve deep-sea habitat characterization
Videos collected from ROVs empower people to explore the ocean from any location. Beyond the immediate value of revealing the mysteries of the deep ocean, video footage provides a rich data source that contributes to our fundamental understanding of the ...
