Abstract We examined the spatial variations in 226Ra and 228Ra concentrations from the surface to a depth of 830 m in the Indian and Southern Oceans during December 2019–January 2020. Notably, 226Ra concentrations at the surface increased sharply from 30°S to 60°S along an ~55°E transect (1.4 to 2.9 mBq/L), exhibiting small vertical variations, while 228Ra became depleted, particularly in the Southern Ocean. These distributions indicated the ocean-scale northward lateral movements of 226Ra-rich and 228Ra-depleted currents originating from the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). Using 226Ra concentrations, the fractions of the ACC at depths of 0–800 m were estimated to decrease from 0.95 to 0.14 from 60°S to 30°S through 0.56 at 43°S. The fractions in the subantarctic area the western Indian Ocean were higher than those previously reported from the eastern, indicating the preferential transport of the ACC. The fractions obtained were approximately equivalent to those in the western Indian section in the 1970s. This could be attributed to the minimal effects of the southward shift of the polar front due to global warming over the last 40 y, implying no notable changes in soluble material transport systems from the Southern Ocean to southern Indian Ocean.

The serpulid genus Metavermilia Bush 1904, is emended and revalidated for four species: M. multicristata (Philippi), the type-species and formerly placed in Vermiliopsis, from the Mediterranean Sea and northeast Atlantic, M. annobonensis n.sp. from the Gulf of Guinea, M. taenia n.sp. from the Bay of Portugal, and M. nates n.sp. from the western Indian Ocean. The relationship of Metavermilia to the closely related genera Vermiliopsis Saint-Joseph and Pseudovermilia Bush is discussed. An apparently new form of parasitism (organisms of uncertain systematic position) in serpulid polychaetes was observed on the gill filaments of M. nates.

The editors are proud to present the first issue of the fourth volume of the Journal of Indian Ocean World Studies. This issue contains three articles, by James Francis Warren (Murdoch University), Kelsey McFaul (University of California, Santa Cruz), and Marek Pawelczak (University of Warsaw), respectively. Warren’s and McFaul’s articles take different approaches to the growing body of work that discusses pirates in the Indian Ocean World, past and present. Warren’s article is historical, exploring the life and times of Julano Taupan in the nineteenth-century Philippines. He invites us to question the meaning of the word ‘pirate’ and the several ways in which Taupan’s life has been interpreted by different European colonists and by anti-colonial movements from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. McFaul’s article, meanwhile, takes a literary approach to discuss the much more recent phenomenon of Somali Piracy, which reached its apex in the last decade. Its contribution is to analyse the works of authors based in the region, challenging paradigms that have mostly been developed from analysis of works written in the West. Finally, Pawelczak’s article is a legal history of British jurisdiction in mid-late nineteenth-century Zanzibar. It examines one of the facets that underpinned European influence in the western Indian Ocean World before the establishment of colonial rule. In sum, this issue uses two key threads to shed light on the complex relationships between European and other Western powers and the Indian Ocean World.
