| The behaviour of southern elephant seals from Kerguelen Island (4950′S, 7030′E) was investigated in relation to the oceanographic regions of the Southern Ocean. The oceanographic and the seal behaviour data, including location and diving activity, were collected using a new generation of satellite-relayed devices measuring and transmitting pressure, temperature, and salinity along with locations. Dive duration, maximum diving depth, time spent at the bottom of the dives, and shape of dive profiles were compared between male and female seals, and were related to the oceanographic characteristics of areas prospected by the seals. Most animals travelled to the Antarctic shelf. However, during winter, adult females travelled away from the... |

| Planktonic ciliates were studied in 17 tropical East African lakes of different salinity and trophic status. Oligotrichs (e.g., Strombidium, Strobilidium and Halteria) and scuticociliates (e.g., Cyclidium, Pleuronema, Cristigera), dominated the ciliate communities. Conductivity and trophic status were the most important environmental variables influencing the distribution of ciliate species in East African lakes. Herbivorous oligotrichs were important in oligotrophic and mesotrophic lakes, as they are in temperate and subtropical lakes, but their importance decreased with increasing chlorophyll a concentration and conductivity. On the other hand, the importance of scuticociliates (primarily bacterivores) increased with increasing chlorophyll a and... |

| The gelatinous macroplanktonic organisms living in the deep sea can only be studied with manned submersibles. There is presently in increasing interest in the study of the role of this part of the pelagic ecosystem, because they are strongly involved in the transformation of the particulate organic matter. Their transparency, small size and mobility present technical challenges, unanticipated by the designers of the first submersibles, aimed at the sea bottom observation. Despite these limitations, the use of conventional submersibles has brought very interesting results. It is hoped that engineers will take into account the requirements of pelagic observations in the design of future submersibles. |
