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

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.

Phytoplankton community composition in the oligotrophic Argo Basin of the eastern Indian Ocean

The paper describes phytoplankton community composition in the oligotrophic Argo Basin during austral summer 2022, highlighting taxonomic and functional diversity across different depth layers.

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

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.

Primary productivity and N2-fixation in the eastern Indian Ocean: bottom-up support for an ecologically and economically important ecosystem

The paper quantifies primary productivity and nitrogen fixation in the eastern Indian Ocean, showing nitrogen recycling and N2 fixation support ecosystem productivity.

Acidic vacuole-containing organisms are a majority of the eukaryotic microbial community in oligotrophic Argo Basin waters (eastern Indian Ocean)

The paper identifies mixotrophs as a dominant component of the eukaryotic microbial community in oligotrophic Argo Basin waters, with high proportions of acid vacuole-containing microbes.

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

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.
