(1) These data indicate that euxinic conditions were common in the water column during Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events.(2) The Indo-Pacific is the most abundant oceanic region for aquatic life and Sipadan seems to be home for most of them.(3) Planktonic foraminifera can be used to obtain data relating to surface water temperatures and oceanic circulation patterns.(4) Identifying pelagic hot spots on oceanic scales and linking these regions with oceanographic features is of high importance.(5) Guarding them were six or seven oceanic blacktip sharks, all bulging muscles and thick necks, making mock charges at us.(6) An estimated 5,000 types of oceanic fish are waiting to be discovered, project leaders said in a recent report.(7) Additionally, gobies are usually the most abundant freshwater fish on oceanic islands.(8) The enormous oceanic whitetip that had scattered them eyed me curiously.(9) It is a pelagic, oceanic shark and is frequently found near the shore especially during the summer months.(10) The climate here is drier due to the cold oceanic upwelling of the Cabo Frio region.(11) The air was humid and moist because of the oceanic breeze swelling up.(12) These whales feed primarily but not exclusively on squid, with one species foraging in deep oceanic waters and the other over the continental shelf.(13) The heartland stood in opposition to the maritime or oceanic lands, and would triumph.(14) Moreover, the modeling took no account of the warming effects of the infusion of relatively warm air from oceanic and tropical areas to continental interiors.(15) The coastal intertidal zone is the area between the low and high tide zones that is not quite oceanic and not quite terrestrial.(16) Many oceanic creatures - whales and teleost fishes in particular - appear only in upper strata, well above hordes of terrestrial forms.
