The Bathypelagic Biome of the Atlantic Ocean: Character and Ecological Discreteness of the Fish Fauna [PDF]
, 2012 Recent global synthetic analyses have revealed that marine taxonomic inventories are far from complete, nowhere more so than in the deep-pelagic ocean. At over a billion km3, it is the largest biome on Earth, yet only a tiny fraction of the biogeographic

Marine snow surface production and bathypelagic export at the Equatorial Atlantic from an imaging float [PDF]
BiogeosciencesThe marine biological carbon pump (BCP) plays a central role in the global carbon cycle, transporting carbon from the surface to the deep ocean and sequestering it for long periods.

An inside look at bathypelagic viruses
, 2016 1 page, 3 figures, 1 table Extensive research in surface ocean layers has demonstrated that viruses are significant components of marine microbial communities. But the dark ocean is the largest and the most unexplored habitat in the biosphere, comprising 1.3 X 1018 m3 (Arístegui, 2009).

The biomass distribution on Earth [PDF]
, 2018 A census of the biomass on Earth is key for understanding the structure and dynamics of the biosphere. However, a global, quantitative view of how the biomass of different taxa compare with one another is still lacking.

Zooplankton vertical stratification in the East-pacific and Indian sectors of the Southern Ocean
Frontiers in Marine ScienceIntroductionIn the Southern Ocean, the large-scale distribution of zooplankton, including their abundance and community composition from the epipelagic to the upper bathypelagic layers, remains poorly understood.

Diet composition of fish species from the southern continental shelf of Colombia [PDF]
, 2002 The diet composition of 30 fish species belonging to 16 families from the Pacific Coast of Colombia is described. Benthic crustaceans (37.5%) and bony fishes (23.7%, chiefly demersal) were the most important food items for the fish species analyzed. Data
