The species lives in the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean, which NIWA scientist Brit Finucci said makes them difficult to study. One ghost shark was caught on camera swimming off the coast of California in 2017. The specimens studied by NIWA to make this identification were found during other...

The SNP developed for Pacific ocean perch was specific to that species in a panel of adult rockfishes common in Alaskan waters and positively recognized all of 994 adult specimens for reactions in which polymerase chain reaction product was obtained. Species-specific microsatellite alleles (Sma6) ...
Shark fishing, driven by the fin trade, is the primary cause of global shark population declines. Here, we present a case study that exemplifies how industrial fisheries are likely depleting shark populations in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean. In Aug
The Pacific sleeper shark Somniosus pacificus is a large-bodied and broad-ranging squaliform shark that occupies diverse habitats throughout the Pacific Ocean. Despite its large size and occurrence as bycatch in various commercial fisheries, little is known about even the most basic aspects of its...
In doing so, all of the ocean habitats are con- tained within it. Of its tem- perate waters, those along the western seaboard of North America have the greatest diversity and sheer mass of ocean life. Without the warming effect of the Gulf Stream, these waters are colder than comparable ...

The addition of sex identification for both thornyhead species to survey sampling protocols will improve the information available for management of the resource. To address concerns about the ability of field personnel to correctly determine sex of thornyheads while at sea, we examined the sex of ...
We present an ocean-basin-scale dataset that includes tail fluke photographic identification (photo-ID) and encounter data for most living individual humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the North Pacific Ocean. The dataset was built through a broad collaboration combining 39 separate curated pho...
Oceanic gateways play a crucial role in controlling global ocean circulation. However, gateway effects on low-latitude deep-water circulation are poorly understood. The South China Sea, located in the western Pacific, was influenced by changes in the equ
