Seamounts support a large number and wide diversity of fish species. A number of these
species can form aggregations for spawning or feeding and are the target of large-scale …

Observational data and numerical modeling were used to investigate oceanic current wakes
surrounding Fernando de Noronha Island (3° 51′ S–32° 25′ W) and Rocas Atoll (3° 52 …

It has been suggested that seamounts hold higher abundances of some 'visiting'animals,
such as tuna, sharks, billfishes, marine mammals, sea-turtles and even seabirds, but this has …

One of the biggest challenges of fisheries research is reducing the bycatch of unwanted
species. The incidental fishing mortality of species with low reproductive rates, such as …

Corals are amongst the most conspicuous sessile organisms found on the hard substrates of
seamounts. They include a diverse array of groups within the phylum Cnidaria, including the …

Despite rather broad definitions, global analysis showed that seamount fishes, particularly
seamount‐aggregating fishes, had higher intrinsic vulnerability than other groups of fishes …

This paper presents data on the incidental catch of sea turtles in both the Brazilian exclusive
economic zone and adjacent international waters (both areas are located mainly in the …

Tunas are highly specialized predators that have evolved numerous adaptations for a
lifestyle that requires large amounts of energy consumption. Here we review our …

The integrity of global biological systems depends on two main processes linking biotic and
abiotic domains: plant photosynthesis and microbial regeneration. In the ocean, those …

Seamounts are ubiquitous habitats of the deep-sea, collectively forming an area as large as
Europe. Their characteristics have led marine scientists to hypothesize a series of 'seamount …
