Coral Ba/Ca Records Oil-drilling History in the South China Sea
Offshore oil exploitation has a disastrous impact on marine ecological environment, resulting in the death or extinction of marine benthic animals. However, full understanding of these effects is hindered by sparse observations in many areas of the world.Offshore oil exploitation has a disastrous impact on marine ecological environment, resulting in the death or extinction of marine benthic animals.

Researchers Reveal Radiation Map and Control Mechanisms of Diurnal Internal Tides in the Western Pacific
Investigating the global internal tide dynamics and energetics is important for understanding the energy cascading processes in the world ocean. Parameterization of tidal mixing is a key step to improve the climate-scale models.Investigating the global internal tide dynamics and energetics is important for understanding the energy cascading processes in the world ocean.

Researchers Unveil Organic Matter Degradation Mechanism of M5 Pair-summit Seamount in Tropical Western Pacific Ocean
Seamounts are defined as isolated terrain elevations with a depth of more than 1000 meters above the seafloor. The presence of seamounts affects the circulation of seawater, inducing nutrients upwelling mobility and stimulating primary production, there...Seamounts are defined as isolated terrain elevations with a depth of more than 1000 meters above the seafloor.

Pacific-origin Tintinnids Have Invaded Arctic Basin: Study
Tintinnids (Ciliophora: Spirotrichea: Choreotrichia) are planktonic ciliates with loricae around their body. They play an important role in material circulation and energy flow from the microbial food web to traditional food chain. Because of their high...Tintinnids (Ciliophora: Spirotrichea: Choreotrichia) are planktonic ciliates with loricae around their body.

Researchers Uncover Transcriptional Regulation Mechanism of Hard Clams Against Heat and Hypoxia Stress
Temperature and dissolved oxygen (DO) are two important aquatic ecological factors. When the water temperature increased, the solubility of oxygen decreased. Heat commonly accompanied hypoxia. Heat and hypoxia stresses could affect a series of physiolog...Temperature and dissolved oxygen (DO) are two important aquatic ecological factors.
