Selection for fast growth during the larval life of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua on the Scotian shelf
Mark G. Meekan,Louis Fortier +1 more
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that fast growth increases the surv~vorship of Atlantic cod dunng larval 11fe in the plankton and indicate that the intensity of slze-selective mortality may vary considerably from year to year.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laxon,Cecilie Mauritzen,Donald K. Perovich,Koji Shimada,Harper L. Simmons,Vladimir Sokolov,Michael Steele,John M. Toole +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, modern and historical observations demonstrate that the temperature of the intermediate-depth (150-900 m) Atlantic water (AW) of the Arctic Ocean has increased in recent decades, and that the changes in the Eurasian Basin facilitated greater upward transfer of AW heat to the ocean surface layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of under‐ice primary production to an ice‐edge upwelling phytoplankton bloom in the Canadian Beaufort Sea

TL;DR: Using under-ice hydrographic data collected near the ice edge of a shallow Arctic bay, this article documented an ice-edge upwelling event that brought nutrient-rich waters to the surface during June 2008.
Journal ArticleDOI
Export of biogenic carbon to fish and to the deep ocean: the role of large planktonic microphages
Journal ArticleDOI
Climatic and biological forcing of the vertical flux of biogenic particles under seasonal Arctic sea ice
TL;DR: In this article, the vertical fluxes of chloropigments and POC were monitored from May to June/July of 1992, 1994 and 1995 under the ice of Barrow Strait (Canadian Arctic Archipelago).
