Assessing public support for commercial fishing in the ocean twilight zone considering climate trade-offs and ocean literacy

Frontiers in Marine Science
Biomass in the mesopelagic or twilight zone (OTZ) of the ocean is estimated to be 10–100 times that of current annual capture fishery production and plays a fundamental role in regulating global climate via both biological and physical processes ...

Quantifying carbon fluxes from primary production to mesopelagic fish using a simple food web model

, 2018
An ecosystem-based flow analysis model was used to study carbon transfer from primary production (PP) to mesopelagic fish via three groups of copepods: Detritivores that access sinking particles, vertical migrators, and species that reside in the surface

Microplastic interactions with north atlantic mesopelagic fish

, 2018
Microplastics in the marine environment are well documented, and interactions with marine biota have been described worldwide. However, interactions with vertically migrating fish are poorly understood.

Respiration Rates in the Global Mesopelagic Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters
Respiration in the mesopelagic layer of the oceans (200–1,000 dbar) is a key factor controlling the biological carbon pump, as it attenuates the downward flux of organic carbon to the ocean interior.

Mesopelagic-boundary community in Hawaii: Micronekton at the interface between neritic and oceanic ecosystems

, 1991
The present study demonstrates that a distinct land-associated community of mesopelagic micronekton exists around the Hawaiian Islands. This “mesopelagic-boundary community” replaces the oceanic mesopelagic community over bottom depths of approx 400 to ...

Global Diversity of Mesopelagic Mesozooplankton

Abstract Despite the ecological importance of mesozooplankton, little is known about their global distribution and diversity in the mesopelagic realm. This study examines the spatial distribution and diversity of 861 mesozooplankton species using species distribution models.

The Endoparasite Fauna of Mesopredatory Mesopelagic Teleosts

, 2023
The ecology of the mesopelagic zone is an understudied area of the open ocean, with few diet studies even for dominant fish species. Since endoparasites are generally transmitted trophically, descriptions of the parasite communities within fishes can ...

Ocean deoxygenation linked to ancient mesopelagic fish decline

Communications Earth & Environment
Mesopelagic fish are integral to ocean food webs and play an important role in carbon transport through their vertical migration behavior. Ocean deoxygenation caused by anthropogenic warming is expected to pose severe threats to mesopelagic fauna by ...

Vertical distribution of mesopelagic organisms under changing oxygen conditions: Insights from western Norwegian fjords [PDF]

Hver dag migrerer utallige små fisker og virvelløse dyr flere hundre meter mellom overflaten og mesopelagiske dyp (200-1000 m) i takt med døgnsyklusen.

Abundance of mesopelagic decapods collected at different layers of the water column around the Iberian Peninsula

The dataset presents the number of mesopelagic Decapoda collected during the CSIC-SUMMER survey carried out in October 2020 in five zones around the Iberian Peninsula: south of Balearic Islands and Alboran Sea in the western Mediterranean, and Gulf of ...
