Global estimate of mesopelagic mesozooplankton biomass [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe global standing stock of mesozooplankton in the mesopelagic zone was assessed using estimates of particulate organic carbon (POC) and net primary productivity (NPP).

Mesopelagic–epipelagic fish nexus in viability and feasibility of commercial‐scale mesopelagic fisheries [PDF]
Natural Resource Modelling, 2022 AbstractWhile considerable scientific uncertainties persist for mesopelagic ecosystems, the fishing industry has developed a great interest in commercial exploitation with improved technologies as part of their search for new sources of feed for fishmeal and fish oil for aquaculture, which will intensify with the planet's growing population.

Mesopelagic Mesozooplankton and Micronekton Database [PDF]
Scientific DataThe Mesopelagic Mesozooplankton and Micronekton Database (MMMD) compiles quantitative data on the distribution and density of mesopelagic (200–1000 m) mesozooplankton and micronekton (0.2–20 mm and 20–200 mm) species, using 258 published and unpublished ...

Mesoscale Eddies Structure Mesopelagic Communities
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Mesoscale eddies play a key role in structuring open ocean ecosystems, affecting the entire trophic web from primary producers to large pelagic predators including sharks and elephant seals.

Biogeography of the Global Ocean’s Mesopelagic Zone [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 The global ocean's near surface can be partitioned into distinct provinces on the basis of regional primary productivity and oceanography [1]. This ecological geography provides a valuable framework for understanding spatial variability in ecosystem function but has relevance only partway into the epipelagic zone (the top 200 m). The mesopelagic (200-1,

Mesopelagic fishes are important prey for a diversity of predators
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Through daily vertical movements, mesopelagic fishes contribute to global carbon export and, when eaten, link primary consumers to higher trophic level predators.

Temporal resolution in mesopelagic crustaceans
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2000 Mesopelagic crustaceans occupy a dim–light environment that is similar to that of nocturnal insects. In a light–limited environment, the requirement for greater sensitivity may result in slower photoreceptor transduction and increased summation time.

Detecting Mesopelagic Organisms Using Biogeochemical‐Argo Floats [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 AbstractDuring the North Atlantic Aerosols and Marine Ecosystems Study in the western North Atlantic, float‐based profiles of fluorescent dissolved organic matter and backscattering exhibited distinct spike layers at 300 m. The locations of the spikes were at depths similar or shallower to where a ship‐based scientific echo sounder identified layers ...

A biogeography of the mesopelagic community [PDF]
, 2016 There are a large number of research vessels and fishing vessels equipped with echosounders plying the world ocean, making continual observations of the ocean interior. Developing data collation programmes (e.g. Integrated Marine Observing System) and automated, repeatable analyses techniques enable the upper c.

Foods, 2020 The projected increase in global population will demand a major increase in global food production. There is a need for more biomass from the ocean as future food and feed, preferentially from lower trophic levels.
