Insights into biotic and abiotic modulation of ocean mesopelagic communities

, 2022
Marine plankton mitigate anthropogenic greenhouse gases, modulate biogeochemical cycles, and provide fishery resources. Plankton is distributed across a stratified ecosystem of sunlit surface waters and a vast, though understudied, mesopelagic ‘dark ...

Metabarcoding and morphological analysis of diets of mesopelagic fishes in the NW Atlantic Slope Water

Frontiers in Marine Science
DNA metabarcoding and morphological taxonomic (microscopic) analysis of the gut contents was used to examine diet diversity of seven species of fishes collected from mesopelagic depths (200-1000 m) in the NW Atlantic Ocean Slope Water during Summer 2018 ...

Are we missing a mesopelagic-demersal coupling? [PDF]

, 2021
Despite demersal trawling monitoring programs are not aimed at quantifying mesopelagic organisms, they are recurrently captured as by catch between 30 and 800 m depth.

Herding mesopelagic fish by light [PDF]

, 2019
To assess organisms forming mesopelagic scattering layers in the Red Sea, we took advantage of their reactions to light. We used a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with LED lamps for herding the acoustic targets down to the bottom (700 m), while ...

Resupply of mesopelagic dissolved iron controlled by particulate iron composition [PDF]

, 2019
The dissolved iron supply controls half of the oceans’ primary productivity. Resupply by the remineralization of sinking particles, and subsequent vertical mixing, largely sustains this productivity. However, our understanding of the drivers of dissolved

Cetaceans from low-latitude oceanic waters rely on mesopelagic prey

The mesopelagic zone increasingly attracts the interest of commercial fisheries due to its large fish abundance and the growing worldwide demand for food. Many mesopelagic species serve as an important food source for many top predators but the extent to

Complete mitochondrial DNA genomes for two northeast Pacific mesopelagic fishes, the Mexican lampfish (Triphoturus mexicanus) and black-belly dragonfish (Stomias atriventer)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
Mesopelagic fishes are an important component of marine ecosystems, providing an important link between lower and higher trophic levels. This group of fishes is also highly abundant and make up a large portion of the marine vertebrate biomass.

Unlocking the Depths: Use of a Trait‐Based Approach to Reveal the Diversity of Foraging Strategies in a Deep‐Pelagic Fish Community

Ecology and Evolution
Community trait structure is shaped by environmental filtering and limiting similarity, balancing abiotic selection and competitive divergence. In the context of environmental change and anthropogenic pressures, increasing our understanding of the ...

Developing the knowledge base needed to sustainably manage mesopelagic resources [PDF]

, 2019
Recent estimates suggest that the mesopelagic zone could contain a total fish biomass of 2-19.5 gigatonnes, roughly equivalent to 100 times the annual catch of all existing fisheries.

Are mesopelagic organisms nutritious food? Impact on metabolism, availability of nutrients, and contaminants from dietary intervention in C57BL/6J mice model

Food Frontiers
Mesopelagic species are unexplored novel low‐trophic sources of essential micronutrients and may contribute to combat malnutrition. In this study, common mesopelagic species from the North Sea including Northern krill (Meganyctiphanes norvegica), glacier
