Article Abstract
We formally describe the association of fishes and anthozoans in epipelagic waters, extending this relationship to beyond the benthos. In situ observations and photographs of Aluterus schoepfii, Ariomma regulus, Caranx cf. latus and Brama spp. swimming alongside or holding larval tube anemones (Cerianthidae and Arachnactidae) and larval zoanthids (Sphenopidae) were made during blackwater SCUBA dives off Palm Beach, Florida, USA, and off Punaauia, Tahiti, French Polynesia. We report and illustrate the behaviour of these interactions, and suggest an advantage for the anthozoans.

We analyzed mercury concentrations in two epipelagic fish species Diodon eydouxii (Pelagic Porcupinefish) and Hirundichthys affinis (Fourwing Flyingfish) and one mesopelagic species Howella atlantica (Atlantic Pelagic Basslet) from the Western Equatorial Atlantic Ocean (WEAO), examining their relationship with total length. Mercury concentrations varied significantly, with the highest levels in H. affinis.

Studying the baseline behavior of deep-diving mammals can substantially improve our understanding of these species' ecology and provide important benchmarks to evaluate effects of changes in climate and anthropogenic activities. Despite being the most abundant beaked whale in the Arctic and subarctic, information on the behavior of northern bottlenose whales () is limited. This study used records from 13 satellite tags deployed off Jan Mayen in June-July 2014-2016 to provide an extensive description of the dive behavior of for the Nordic Seas.

Tuna and billfish indicates Hg and MeHg accumulation through marine food webs, yet the causes of interspecies and interoceanic variation remain unclear. This study analyzed THg, MeHg, and Hg isotopes in seven tuna and billfish species from the Pacific and Atlantic, revealing bioaccumulation pattern in top marine predators. Blue marlin (a kind of billfish) showed significantly higher THg concentrations (1824 ± 1558 ng g ww) and lower MeHg/THg ratios (28.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is essential for all cells, yet many marine microbes cannot synthesize B1 Dissolved thiamine and its related chemical congeners (TRCs) concentrations are not well characterized beyond the surface ocean, where they are typically low. Here, we observed unexpected enrichment of TRCs in regions of low dissolved oxygen levels (9.4 < O < 12.
