Proximate composition of Antarctic mesopelagic fishes
Marine Biology, 1990Eleven mesopelagic fish species from the Weddell/Scotia Sea region of the Antarctic captured during the austral spring 1983, austral fall 1986, and austral winter 1988, were analyzed for proximate composition. Water, ash level, protein, lipid and carbohydrate were examined in relation to depth of occurrence and season.

Mesopelagic microplankton of the Arabian Sea
Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 2003Abstract The Arabian Sea is notable for its dramatic monsoonal effects on euphotic zone biogeochemical processes and the large spatial extent of its mesopelagic oxygen minimum zone. As part of the US Joint Global Ocean Flux Study Arabian Sea project, we sampled microplankton (organisms 20–200 μm including diatoms, dinoflagellates, ciliates ...

A collaborative effort called MEDUZA was established in 2002 between US, Croatian and Slovenian scientists to investigate gelatinous zooplankton ecology in the southern Adriatic Sea. In conjunction with the MEDUZA program, several cruises were made to a 1200 m depth station characterized by clear, oligotrophic surface waters largely devoid of metazoan ...

Target strengths of two abundant mesopelagic fish species
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015Mesopelagic fish of the Myctophidae and Sternoptychidae families dominate the biomass of the oceanic deep scattering layers and, therefore, have important ecological roles within these ecosystems. Interest in the commercial exploitation of these fish is growing, so the development of techniques for estimating their abundance, distribution and ...

Broadband acoustic quantification of mesopelagic zooplankton
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2019In addition to its critical role in biogeochemical cycling, the mesopelagic zone has the potential to become an important global fisheries resource. A growing number of studies have focused on estimating the global biomass of mesopelagic fishes, but that of mesopelagic zooplankton is far more uncertain.

On yellow lenses in mesopelagic animals
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1976It has long been known that the corneas and lenses of some vertebrates are yellow in colour, and therefore affect the spectral quality of the light that reaches the retina. Various functions have been attributed to such intraocular yellow filters, such as the reduction of scattered light, chromatic aberration, and ‘glare’; and also possibly an increase

Shape change behavior by mesopelagic animals
Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology, 1999In situ observations in Monterey Bay and elsewhere revealed a common behavior pattern among certain species living at mesopelagic depths between 200 and 800 m. When these animals were presented with threatening stimuli, they responded by curling their elongate bodies into circular shapes.

Marine growth along the mesopelagic zone
Floating wind farms in offshore areas in the world marks a significant stride towards harnessing renewable wind power from deeper oceanic expanses. While the technology is still evolving, its potential as a key player in the renewable energy landscape is evident.Devantier, Cecilie Borch +2 more
