Microplastic interactions with North Atlantic mesopelagic fish [PDF]
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2015 AbstractMicroplastics 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. The diel vertical migration of mesopelagic fish represents one, if not the largest, vertical migration of biomass on the planet, and is thus an

Low-latitude mesopelagic nutrient recycling controls productivity and export
NatureLow-latitude (LL) oceans account for up to half of global net primary production and export1–5. It has been argued that the Southern Ocean dominates LL primary production and export6, with implications for the response of global primary production and ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Following a brief review of their biology, this contribution is an attempt to provide a global overview of the catches of mesopelagic fishes (of which 2.68 million tonnes were officially reported to the FAO) throughout the world ocean from 1950 to 2018 ...

Population ecology of mesopelagic fishes
, 2022 This thesis focuses mainly on mesopelagic fishes, and mesopelagic fish species Maurolicus muelleri. Mesopelagic fishes are found in the oceanic twilight zone starting at the end of the euphotic zone down to approximately 1000 meters. The mesopelagic zone is found in all world oceans, and the fishes that inhabit them potentially occupy the highest ...

Mediterranean Marine Science, 2022 Mesopelagic fishes are among the most abundant groups of vertebrates on Earth. Despite their unique biological and ecological traits, research in this group has been particularly scarce.

Stranding of Mesopelagic Fishes in the Canary Islands
Animals, 2022 Most mesopelagic fishes perform large diel vertical migrations from the deep-sea zone to the surface. Although there is a trade-off between a higher food availability at the upper layers and an energy cost and predation risk, incursion towards the surface also implies a transport by currents, where the fish are exposed to a stranding risk on the coast.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Investigations of hydrostatic pressure effects on microbial enzymatic processing are challenging but critical for understanding element cycling in the world's oceans. In this study, we developed and tested a stainless‐steel pressure cell capable of withstanding up to 110 MPa of hydrostatic pressure (equivalent to ~ 11,000 m depth), featuring ...

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.
