The structure and dynamics of the benthic invertebrate megafauna of the Southeastern
Brazilian shelf were studied over a 2-year period. Two regions presenting different …

Abstract The Santa Marta Grande Cape (CSM) area, a relatively steep and narrow
continental shelf off southeast Brazil, is under the influence of the Brazil Current and intense …

The spatial distribution of copepod populations on the eastern continental shelf off Rio de
Janeiro State, Brazil, was analysed in relation to the hydrographic regime in December …

The main aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare temporal responses of the
benthos in 2 continental shelf areas (Cabo Frio and Ubatuba) off the SE Brazilian coast. In …

The coastal upwelling off Cabo Frio (SE Brazilian coast, SEBC) represents an exception to
the world's oceans since the majority of the upwelling areas are located in eastern boundary …

The study region covers a wide latitudinal range, from 22° S to 55° S, and a bathymetric
scope ranging from the coast to the shelf-break and adjacent region to a depth of ca. 1000 …

Abstract The Santos Basin mesophotic zone comprises one area of 104,915 km 2,
occupying 78% of the entire basin. Santos Basin is one of the most under stress and …

The knowledge of metals concentration in upwelling areas are a concern due the higher
productivity of these areas In Cabo Frio Upwelling-Downwelling System (CFUS) is high …

Water temperature controls the physiology, growth rate, distribution, and behavior of most
plankton populations in the sea and thus affects the energy transfer in marine ecosystems …

The smallest phytoplankton groups named picoplankton and ultraplankton can be
responsible for about 50 to 80% of the primary production rates in oligotrophic waters, due to …
