Particulate Cadmium Accumulation in the Mesopelagic Ocean

Global Biogeochemical Cycles
AbstractObservations of dissolved cadmium (dCd) and phosphate (PO4) suggest an unexplained loss of dCd to the particulate phase in tropical oxyclines. Here, we compile existing observations of particulate Cd and phosphorus (P), and present new data from the US GEOTRACES GP15 Pacific Meridional Transect to examine this phenomenon from a particulate Cd ...

Carbon export by small particles in the Norwegian Sea [PDF]

, 2014
Despite its fundamental role in controlling the Earth's climate, present estimates of global organic carbon export to the deep sea are affected by relatively large uncertainties. These uncertainties are due to lack of observations as well as disagreement

Nekton community of the Scotia Sea as sampled by the RMT 25 during austral summer [PDF]

, 1994
The nekton community was sampled by a Rectangular Midwater Trawl (RMT 25) over the upper 1000 m of the Scotia Sea dunng January 1991. A total of 81 nekton and micronekton species were collected from 2 sites, one in the oceanlc western Scotia Sea (Stn 1)

Attenuation of sinking particulate organic carbon flux through the mesopelagic ocean [PDF]

, 2015
The biological carbon pump, which transports particulate organic carbon (POC) from the surface to the deep ocean, plays an important role in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. We know very little about geographical variability in

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.

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.

Retinal properties of the mesopelagic fish Diaphus sp.: vision under dim light conditions

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014
Deep-sea fishes inhabit an environment where light plays a crucial ecological role with consequences on their behaviour, but little is known on how visual adaptations evolved to these specific light conditions. The mesopelagic zone is the transition from

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
