TL;DR: A size-dependent equation for mortality rate (M(w)) of fish-sized particles is derived using preexisting theory on the distribution of biomass as a function of size in the pelagic marine ecosystem, assuming that mortality is primarily due to predation.

TL;DR: The acclimation of herbivores to variation in their phytoplankton food source was expressed mathematically and its effect on phy Topolankton, herbivore and nutrient cycles explored with a plankton model.

TL;DR: The spatial structure of the northern Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) population inhabiting the coastal and offshore regions of eastern Newfoundland and Labrador is analyzed using metapopulation concepts as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Esaias et al. as mentioned in this paper solved the equations describing marine plankton dynamics for the climatological oceanographic conditions during the month of May in the North Atlantic, and predicted the geographical distribution of phytoplankton, zooplankston and limiting nutrient (nitrate) concentration in the surface mixed layer of the ocean from historical mixed layer depth and total nutrient made locally available to the plankton ecosystem by convective mixing.

TL;DR: Polymorphisms at five microsatellite DNA loci provide evidence that Atlantic cod Gadus morhua inhabiting Gilbert Bay, Labrador are genetically distinguishable from offshore cod on the north-east Newfoundland shelf and from inshore cod in Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.
