To decipher the response of mesopelagic prokaryotic communities to input of nutrients, we tracked changes in prokaryotic abundance, extracellular enzymatic activities, heterotrophic production, dark dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) fixation, community ...

The vertical and horizontal distributions of Euphausiacea in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM), including the location of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, were analyzed from 340 trawl samples collected between April and June 2011. This study is the first

Abstract The biological carbon pump sequesters carbon through passive fluxes of biologically derived carbon, and by active vertical movement of marine organisms. Trophic coupling between pelagic and benthic communities increases the efficiency of the biological carbon pump as less carbon is lost to remineralization.

Delineating Marine Planktonic Habitats Through the Biogeochemical‐Argo Array Data
Abstract Phytoplankton play a crucial role in regulating marine biogeochemical pathways but studying their spatial and temporal dynamics often requires extensive and laborious oceanographic expeditions. Here, we report a novel use of Biogeochemical‐Argo data to delineate planktonic habitats in the Tropical North Atlantic Ocean (TNA).

Swimbladder morphology masks Southern Ocean mesopelagic fish biomass [PDF]
Within the twilight of the oceanic mesopelagic realm, 200–1000 m below sea level, are potentially vast resources of fish. Collectively, these mesopelagic fishes are the most abundant vertebrates on Earth, and this global fish community plays a vital role in the function of oceanic ecosystems.

Hidden Bioavailable Dissolved Organic Matter in the Deep Northwestern Pacific Ocean
Abstract The deep ocean is widely viewed as a stable reservoir of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) that is highly resistant to microbial degradation. However, this paradigm may be oversimplified. In a cross‐latitude survey conducted in the northwestern Pacific Ocean (155°E, 28.5°N–41.5°N), bulk DOC concentrations were found to be relatively constant ...

Diversity and Ecological Potentials of Marine Viruses Inhabiting Continental Shelf Seas
To the best of the knowledge, this study provides the largest viral genome dataset from a continental shelf sea. It reveals that over half of vOTUs are novel, highlighting the remarkable viral novelty in the eastern continental shelf seas of China (ECSSC).

Evidence for dependency of bacterial growth on enzymatic hydrolysis of particulate organic matter in the mesopelagic ocean [PDF]
Organic material entering the oceanic mesopelagic zone may either reenter the euphotic zone or settle into deeper waters. Therefore it is important to know about mechanisms and efficiency of substrate conversion in this water layer.
