Changes in zooplankton communities from epipelagic to lower mesopelagic waters
Marine Environmental Research, 2019 Zooplankton form a trophic link between primary producers and higher trophic levels, and exert significant influence on the vertical transport of carbon through the water column ('biological carbon pump'). Using a MultiNet we sampled and studied mesozooplankton communities (i.e.

International audienceVertically migrating zooplankton play a key role in the carbon pump by transporting particulate and dissolved carbon from the epipelagic to the deep ocean. Monitoring to the deep ocean.

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 5, August 2026.Abstract The long‐term storage of carbon by the biological carbon pump depends on the amount of organic carbon produced in sunlit waters, the depth at which that organic carbon is respired, and the time until the respired carbon is again in contact with the atmosphere. In the Southern Ocean, estimates of organic carbon export, net community production (

Distribution of epipelagic biomass in Puget Sound over the summer
, 2014 Fishes often utilize multiple habitats over the course of their estuarine residence. Puget Sound, WA, provides epipelagic habitat to a variety of species, including declining populations of (Pacific herring, Clupea pallasi) and Endangered Species Act ...

Epipelagic and mesopelagic fishes in the southern California Current System: Ecological interactions and oceanographic influences on their abundance [PDF]
, 2014 We use zooplankton and ichthyoplankton data from the ~ 60-year CalCOFI time series to examine relationships of mesopelagic (. i.e. midwater) fishes in the California Current System with midwater predators, potential competitors (epipelagic planktivorous ...

Population Genetic Structure of the Tropical Two-Wing Flyingfish (Exocoetus volitans).
PLoS ONE, 2016 Delineating populations of pantropical marine fish is a difficult process, due to widespread geographic ranges and complex life history traits in most species.

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract The biological, chemical, and physical processes in the mesopelagic zone that impact carbon flux to the deep ocean are poorly understood, particularly in the Southern Ocean, despite their importance to deep ocean carbon storage. Using a CTD‐mounted underwater imaging system, the Underwater Vision Profiler 5, we observed distributions of large ...

Copepod‐associated microbial biogeography in the epipelagic ocean
Limnology and Oceanography LettersAbstract Zooplankton‐microbial interactions play crucial roles in epipelagic ecosystem functions. The distinct west‐to‐east gradients and complex circulation patterns in the Mediterranean Sea, combined with the ubiquity of pelagic copepods, provide an ideal model to study the ecological processes driving host‐associated microbial ...
