The open ocean is a harsh place for newborn fishes. From the minute larvae hatch from their eggs, their survival depends upon finding food and navigating ocean currents to their adult habitats all while avoiding predators. This harrowing journey from egg to home has long been a mystery, until now.
An international team including scientists from the Arizona State University Center for Global Discovery and Conservation Science (GDCS), NOAA s Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, and the University of Hawai i at Mānoa have discovered a diverse array of young marine animals finding refuge within so-called surface slicks in Hawai i. Surface slicks create a su
