New research reveals how ocean viruses burst algae cells, fueling a subsurface oxygen band through rapid microbial recycling.

Ocean microbes keep the planet healthy by cycling nutrients and capturing carbon, but a detailed and precise map of where ...

Some of the ocean's tiniest organisms get swept into underwater currents that act as a conduit that shuttles them from the sunny surface to deeper, darker depths where they play a huge role in ...

Fishing experts are looking for ways to fish in the mesopelagic zone, a layer of water that stretches from 200-1,000 meters (660-3,300 feet) beneath the surface, which has, thus far, remained ...

New research shows how tiny plant-like organisms hitch a ride on ocean currents to reach darker and deeper depths, where they impact carbon cycling and microbial dynamics in the subtropical oceans The ...
