TL;DR: In this article, a series of interdisciplinary field studies was conducted on the Canary Island archipelago, which straddles the transition between the coastal upwelling regime and the warmer, oligotrophic waters of the open ocean.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of interdisciplinary field studies was conducted on the Canary Island archipelago to investigate the role of cyclonic eddies in the transport and exchange of biogenic material including fish larvae.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of island-generated eddies on chlorophyll distribution : a study of mesoscale variation around Gran Canaria
Javier Arístegui,Paul Tett,Alonso Hernández-Guerra,Gotzon Basterretxea,María F. Montero,K. Wild,Pablo Sangrà,Santiago Hernández-León,M. Canton,J. (José) García-Braun,M. Pacheco,Eric D. Barton +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two mechanisms associated with island generated eddies, largely responsible for the formation and distribution of chlorophyll around the Canary Islands, are proposed based on field data and remote sensing images (AVHRR and CZCS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Coupling between the open ocean and the coastal upwelling region off northwest Africa: water recirculation and offshore pumping of organic matter
Josep Lluís Pelegrí,Javier Arístegui,L. Cana,Melchor González-Dávila,Alonso Hernández-Guerra,Santiago Hernández-León,Ángeles Marrero-Díaz,María F. Montero,Pablo Sangrà,M. Santana-Casiano +9 more
TL;DR: The surface and upper-thermocline waters of the Canary Basin are characterised by very strong coupling between the open ocean and the coastal upwelling region as discussed by the authors, which is the true Canary Current.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of high-lipid content strains of the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica for biodiesel production by flow cytometry and single-cell sorting
TL;DR: By using cell sorting capabilities of flow cytometers, in combination with the lipid-soluble fluorescent dye Nile Red, the equivalent of a stable “fat marathon runner” is selected through three sorting events obtained from wild populations of Tetraselmis suecica.
