A hydrographic climatology was created with the goal of establishing the mean hydrographic conditions and oceanic waters intrusion mechanisms in the central and northern parts of the South Brazil Bight on a seasonal ...

Five oceanographic cruises were made between November200 5andJune 2006, sampling across-shelf transect off the South Brazilian Bight (SBB;261460S) to follow the seasonal development the South Atlantic Central Water(SACW) ...

The overlap of niches of the swimming crabs Achelous spinicarpus and A. spinimanus on the southeastern coast of Brazil was investigated through biological and environmental samplings made monthly during 1 year, covering ...

Artemesia longinaris was analyzed here with respect to reproductive period, recruitment and sexual maturity. Samples were carried out in five transects, monthly, from November 2008 to October 2009, at Fortaleza Bay, north ...

Communities of the rocky mid-intertidal zone of the South-western Atlantic are uniform in appearance, dominated by dense monocultures of small-size mussels (Brachidontes rodriguezii and Perumytilus purpuratus). To explain ...

The Atlantic component of the Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a key contributor to the global meridional transport of volume, salt, and heat, and thus plays a central role in global climate. As part of ongoing ...

Historical hydrographic data from the continental shelf off eastern South America are used to examine the thermohaline properties of the water masses in the region between 20°S and 40°S. The continental shelf water masses ...

Upwelling events can occur in most of the oceans altering the water physical, chemical and sediment conditions and consequently the species communities dwelling the areas. For better understanding the behavior of populations ...

Long-term data on spatial and bathymetric distributions, preferred bottom temperatures, length and weight of blue hake Antimora rostrata caught off the Atlantic coast of South America are presented based on published and ...
