The general distribution of Centrolophus niger in the North Atlantic is reviewed including the first two records from the Canadian area and two additional records off the New England coast to add to the four previously recorded from this area. Two new records from the Dana collections extend the distribution of this species westward in the oceanic area between Iceland and the Azores. All known records of the rarely captured Centrolophus britannicus are presented. These include 34 previously published records from the northeastern Atlantic, eight new records from the northeastern Atlantic and the first seven records from the northwestern Atlantic, from Flemish Cap and the southern Grand Bank to North Carolina.In separating C. niger and C. britannicus some meristic characters are useful: C. niger, D. 35–41, A. 23–25, P. 20–23, gill-rakers on lower limb 1st arch, 13–15; C. britannicus, D. 44–51 (one, 55), A. 27–33 (one, 25), P. 18–21 (one, 16), gill-rakers on lower limb 1st arch, 11–13. Some body proportions are also important: the bases of the dorsal and anal fins are longer in C. britannicus and the distance from the snout to the anterior base of the dorsal fin usually greater. The length of the caudal peduncle is distinctly greater in C. niger.In C. niger the flesh is firm and the skin tough whereas in C. britannicus the flesh is flabby and the skin delicate. The peritoneum of C. britannicus is usually dark and that of C. niger usually light.

<p><span>According to the subpolar AMOC index built from ARGO and altimetry, the AMOC amplitude across the OVIDE section (from Greenland to Portugal) was similar to that of the mid-1990s between 2014 and 2017, i.e. 4-5 Sv above the level of the 2000s. It then returned to average values in 2018. The same index computed independently from the biennial summer cruises over 2002-2018 confirms this statement. Interestingly, despite the concomitant cold and fresh anomaly in the subpolar Atlantic, the heat flux across OVIDE remains correlated with the AMOC amplitude. This can be explained by the paths taken by the North Atlantic Current and the transport anomalies in the subarctic front. In 2014, the OVIDE section was complemented by a section from Greenland to Newfoundland (GA01), showing how the water of the lower limb of the AMOC was densified by deep convection in the Labrador Sea. The spatial patterns of volume, heat, salt and oxygen transport anomalies after 2014 will be discussed at the light of the 2000s average.</span></p>

Exploration of the New England and Corner Rise Seamounts produced four new species of chrysogorgiid octocorals with the spiral iridogorgiid growth form. Three species are described as new in the genus Iridogorgia and one is described in the new genus Rhodaniridogorgia. Both genera have representatives in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Iridogorgia magnispiralis sp. nov., is one of the largest octocorals encountered in the deep sea and seems to be widespread in the Atlantic.

Based on two specimens collected in the Antarctic deep-sea (4928 m) the adult female and male of the genusPseudolamprops Gamô, 1989 are described for the first time. A new combination is proposed, Pseudolamprops profundus(Reyss, 1978) comb. nov., and several new records from the North Atlantic and Antarctica are provided. The diagnosis of Pseudolamprops is revised on the account of the new material available.

Abstract Larsen, K. M. H., Hátún, H., Hansen, B., and Kristiansen, R. 2012. Atlantic water in the Faroe area: sources and variability. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69: 802–808. The inflow of Atlantic water (AW) across the Greenland–Scotland Ridge and into the Nordic Seas controls both physical and biological conditions in the northeastern Atlantic through its transport of heat, salt, and other properties. The two main branches of this flow pass through the Iceland–Faroe Gap and the Faroe–Shetland Channel, respectively. Regular monitoring along four standard sections crossing these flows provides time-series of the AW temperature and salinity variability since the late 1980s. The analysis of these series presented shows a persistent increasing trend in both temperature and salinity, modulated by smaller subdecadal oscillations. Using supplementary data sources, the previously established link between the large-scale circulation in the North Atlantic and Atlantic inflow properties is supported. Salinity is also impacted by large changes in the Bay of Biscay source waters, and upstream air–sea heat fluxes modulate temperature. Relationships between changes in transport and associated residence time, and the modifying strength of the air–sea interaction and mixing, are also discussed.

The study of the morphological and meristic characters of larval and adult sandeels (Gymnammodytes spp.) collected off the Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean) has revealed the co-occurrence of G. cicerelus and G. semisquamatus in the Mediterranean. The geo-graphical distribution of G. semisquamatus had hitherto been thought to be limited to the European Atlantic coasts. The comparative analysis of specimens of G. semisquamatus from the Mediterranean and from the North Atlantic has demonstrated a marked latitudinal cline in the meristic counts. An exhaustive overview is presented of the bibliography referring to the Ammodytidae family in the Mediterranean, and the validity of the numerous references is discussed. Finally, it has been shown that the accepted description of G. cicerelus included the two species: G. cicerelus and G. semisquamatus. In the present paper an up-to-date diagnosis of both species is presented.

The New England River Basins Commission (NERBC) has placed first priority on implementation of its responsibilities for comprehensive planning. Its enabling legislation resulted in a resolution specifying that NERBC participate vigorously in the prosecution of a framework study for the region (The North Atlantic Study), and shall initiate promptly comprehensive studies of major subregions as elements of the comprehensive coordinated joint plan. The Southeastern New England (SENE) is the first such major subregion to be studied.

Seven types are established for forms of the atmospheric circulation in certain portions of “circulation regions” of the middle latitudes of the northern hemisphere. Tendencies of persistence and recurrence are different for each type and are subject to an annual course. Certain rules may be derived from changes in these types.
