Overlap in distribution and diets of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus), Norwegian spring-spawning herring (Clupea harengus) and blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) in the Norwegian Sea during late summer (2012, background): “The great abundance of appendicularians, their high nutritional value, their slow swimming speed and lack of carapace make them attractive as prey for many predators (Purcell et al. 2005).”
Toward a global reference database of COI barcodes for marine zooplankton (2021, background): “Accurate and detailed taxonomic characterization of larvaceans has proven difficult, if not impossible, due to damage to specimens during routine net sampling, which has markedly limited our understanding of the true biodiversity of these pelagic tunicates (Hopcroft 2005), despite our appreciation f”
Distinctions in the diets and distributions of larval tunas and the important role of appendicularians (2010, background): “Larval tunas, in turn, obtain relatively large, energyrich prey items (Purcell et al. 2005) that are generally abundant and reliably available in an otherwise oligotrophic environment.”
