The paper compares food-web structures in tuna spawning habitats of the Gulf of Mexico and Argo Basin, finding higher ecosystem efficiency in the Argo Basin due to differences in zooplankton herbivory and nutrient cycling.

This study examines how maternal trophic behavior influences larval growth and survival in bluefin tunas by analyzing isotopic signatures and growth rates across multiple populations.

This study examines how trophic specialization affects larval growth in three tuna species, finding that optimal growth correlates with narrower trophic niches and lower trophic positions.

This study examines growth and survival of Southern bluefin tuna larvae in the eastern Indian Ocean, finding faster growth rates and survival linked to temperature and prey changes.

This study identifies Prochlorococcus as dominant in the oligotrophic Argo Basin, revealing photophysiological strategies that enable survival under nitrate limitation and Fe stress, and shows how mesoscale eddies episodically alter phytoplankton communities.

The paper quantifies microbial carbon flows in the spawning region of Southern Bluefin Tuna off NW Australia, showing Prochlorococcus dominates production and grazing in the upper euphotic zone.

The paper tests the TEEL hypothesis by analyzing larval rockfish diets and finds that lower trophic position prey correlates with better growth and survival.

This study shows that diet and size-at-birth influence larval rockfish growth and survival by affecting feeding success and initial size.
