During her conference on board on the Marion Dufresne, Angelee-Pavanee Annasawmy presented part of her research on distribution of micronekton<\/strong> and trace element concentrations in these organisms in Southwestern Indian Ocean. Micronekton is composed of mesopelagic<\/a> fish<\/strong>, crustaceans<\/strong>, and cephalopods<\/strong> with size between 2-20 cm<\/strong>. Contrary to plankton, they can swim in the water currents. This group of organisms is known to perform vertical migration<\/strong> in the water column, therefore participating in the transfer of organic carbon from euphotic zone (close to the surface) to deeper ocean layers. This group can be seen as a link between zooplankton and top predators.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Angelee\u2019s PhD focused on the Indian Southern Subtropical Gyre<\/a> <\/strong>and the East African Coast<\/strong>. The gyre is oligotrophic<\/a> (less rich in nutrients) compared to the Mozambique channel, as eddies<\/a> drive nutrients from land to the channel.\u00a0 She also focused on seamounts<\/a>, which are topographic obstacles in the ocean floor, more than 1.000 meters height, but remaining below the ocean surface. She was particularly interested in the trophic position <\/a>of the micronekton and the trace element concentrations in the different taxa, as well as the influence of the eddies and sea mounts on micronekton distribution and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She conducted mesopelagic trawls <\/strong>(nets to catch micronekton) while using active acoustics<\/strong>, combining the data of the two methods (if you want to know more about how active acoustics is used for marine biology studies you can see the summary of the seminar of Anne Lebourges-Dhaussy <\/a>who works with Angelee at LEMAR). The utilisation of different types of data showed that micronekton migrates down around dawn, stay in the darkness of the depths during the day, and comes back at dusk closer to the surface for the night, supposedly as a feeding and predator avoidance strategy. However, micronekton migration strategy<\/strong> seems influenced by<\/strong> different factors like eddies and seamounts<\/strong>. Species distribution is indeed closely associated to the presence of this topographic obstacle, probably due to their ecological features, such as predation avoidance, feeding, reproduction and rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acoustic measures along a transect in the Indian Ocean at the end of the night. The colors in the graph represent reflection (backscatter) of the sound emitted by the echo-sounder below the ship, on the micro-nekton organisms in the water column. During the night (left part of the graph), organisms are mostly present close to the surface (less than 150m) and in the depths (around 500-700m). Before dawn, a large part of the organisms in the surface migrate down to the deep layer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To identify the trophic levels of each taxon<\/a> (type of organisms) and the geographical origin of their prey, she carried out stable isotope<\/a> analyses<\/strong> on the organisms and measured concentration of various trace elements<\/strong>. It all appeared to vary according to the taxa, which might be linked to their feeding and migrating habits. The above-mentioned results could be interpreted along with genetic data and other trace element studies for a deeper understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
