Comparative food-web analysis of bluefin tuna spawning habitats in the eastern Indian Ocean and Gulf of Mexico

Michael R. Stukel, Michael R. Landry, Moira R. Décima, Christian K. Fender, Sven A. Kranz, Raúl Laiz‐Carrión, Estrella Malca, José María Quintanilla, Karen E. Selph, Rasmus Swalethorp, Natalia Yingling

The paper compares food-web structures in tuna spawning habitats of the Gulf of Mexico and Argo Basin, finding higher ecosystem efficiency in the Argo Basin due to differences in zooplankton herbivory and nutrient cycling.

Sinking particle export within and beneath the euphotic zone in the eastern Indian Ocean

Michael R. Stukel, Tristan Biard, Moira R. Décima, Christian K. Fender, Opeyemi Kehinde, Thomas Kelly, Sven A. Kranz, Manon Laget, Michael R. Landry, Natalia Yingling

The paper quantifies carbon export and sinking particle characteristics in the eastern Indian Ocean, finding net remineralization in the deep euphotic zone and similar patterns to the Gulf of Mexico.

Microbial food web dynamics in tropical waters of the bluefin tuna spawning region off northwestern Australia

Michael R. Landry, Michael R. Stukel, Natalia Yingling, Karen E. Selph, Sven A. Kranz, Christian K. Fender, Rasmus Swalethorp, Ria I. Bhabu

The paper quantifies microbial carbon flows in the spawning region of Southern Bluefin Tuna off NW Australia, showing Prochlorococcus dominates production and grazing in the upper euphotic zone.
