Economic viability of a large vessel mesopelagic fishery under ecological uncertainty
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Motivated by the global rise in demand for marine products, there is increased interest in exploitation of the mesopelagic zone. However, the feasibility of this potential fishery remains uncertain, partly due to limited biological data and knowledge on ...

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,

Oxygen minimum zone: An important oceanographic habitat for deep-diving northern elephant seals, Mirounga angustirostris. [PDF]
, 2017 Little is known about the foraging behavior of top predators in the deep mesopelagic ocean. Elephant seals dive to the deep biota-poor oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) (>800 m depth) despite high diving costs in terms of energy and time, but how they ...

Linking eye design with host symbiont relationships in pontoniine shrimps (crustacea, decapoda, palaemonidae) [PDF]
, 2014 Symbiosis is prevalent in the marine environment with many studies examining the effects of such interactions between host and symbiont. Pontoniine shrimps are a group whose ecology is characterised by symbiotic interactions.

Multiple Approaches to the Trophic Role of Mesopelagic Fish around the Iberian Peninsula
Animals, 2023 Simple Summary Mesopelagic fish form the largest fish biomass in the oceans. They are essential intermediates in marine food webs, having an important role as zooplankton consumers and prey for top predators such as pelagic fish or marine mammals, as ...
