Does upwelling intensity influence feeding habits and trophic position of planktivorous fish?

Psychoactive pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs in coastal waters of North-Western Spain: Environmental exposure and risk assessment

“…The seafood industry is of high economic importance to Spain, which ranks as the largest producer of mollusks in Europe and the fifth worldwide (FAO, 2016). Most of the production occurs in the region of Galicia (North-Western Spain) due to the nutrient-rich waters associated with East-Atlantic upwelling areas (Costas-Rodríguez et al, 2010;Doval et al, 2016;Fernández et al, 2016;Figueiras et al, 2002;Lopez-Lopez et al, 2017;Prego et al, 1999) The area selected for this study, the Rías Baixas area (Galicia) is one of the main centers of the fishing, seafood, and associated processing industries in Spain (Bello Bugallo et al, 2013). While of great economic and environmental importance, the environmental pressure in the Rías Baixas is extremely high.…”

Structure and nutrient transfer in a tropical pelagic upwelling food web: From isoscapes to the whole ecosystem

“…The predictable relationship between temperature and carbon isotope composition of basal production means that changes in sea surface temperature due to upwelling should alter the isotopic composition of primary production, and subsequently of animals feeding within the ecosystem reliant on this primary production. In this way, upwelling-derived nutrient use can be detected within higher trophic levels of the pelagic ecosystem (Lopez-Lopez et al, 2017;Thompson et al, 2012). To detect upwelling signals, however, it is first important to have information on the baseline, without the influence of upwelling.…”

Drivers of reef fish assemblages in an upwelling region from the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean

“…Seasonal differences in the distribution and abundance of reef fishes were likely due to the associated changes in temperature and productivity (López‐López et al ., 2017; Sato et al ., 2018). The physiological range of temperature tolerance of fishes can vary considerably between species, with some staying and others leaving an area during upwelling events (Peck et al ., 2013; Pérez‐Matus et al ., 2017; Sato et al ., 2018).…”
