Finding mesopelagic prey in a changing Southern Ocean

, 2019
International audienceMesopelagic fish and squid occupy ocean depths extending below the photic zone and their verticalmigrations represent a massive pathway moving energy and carbon through the water column.Their spatio-temporal distribution is however,

Characterizing Habitat Suitability of Long‐Finned Pilot Whales in a Key Conservation Region of the Southern Iberian Peninsula Using Satellite Tracking Data

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The waters surrounding the southern Iberian Peninsula are a key conservation area for the long‐finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas melas), particularly in the pelagic regions of the Strait of Gibraltar, the Alboran Sea, and the Gulf of Vera, where upwelling, complex bathymetry and frontal dynamics enhance productivity and prey availability,

Microplastic interactions with north atlantic mesopelagic fish

, 2015
Microplastics 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 Meso- and Bathypelagic Fishes in a Large Submarine Canyon: Assemblage Structure of the Principal Species in the Gully Marine Protected Area

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Midwater trawl surveys were conducted during 2007–10 at meso- and bathypelagic depths in and near The Gully, a large submarine canyon off Nova Scotia that is also a Marine Protected Area.

Unexpected Global Prevalence of Mesopelagic Particle Layers Detected by BGC‐Argo Floats

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Particulate organic carbon transported to the deep ocean forms a critical component of the Earth's carbon cycle. The concentration of these particles is generally parameterized in models to decrease continuously with depth, but isolated layers of small particles (≤ ${\le} $20 μm ${\upmu }\mathrm{m}$) observed within the mesopelagic challenge ...

Governance Relevant Insights on Harvesting in the Mesopelagic Zone

, 2021
With the population growing and countries becoming more affluent, diets shift. These global dietary shifts contribute greatly to increasing greenhouse gas emissions because of their higher carbon and water intensities.

Stable Isotope Composition of Skin Layers Confirms Trophic Differentiation of Baird's and Sato's Beaked Whales (Berardius spp.) in the Western North Pacific

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 17, 15 September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Closely related whale species can appear similar yet occupy distinct ecological niches. Sato's beaked whale (Berardius minimus) was only recently recognized as a separate species and was previously grouped with Baird's beaked whale (Berardius bairdii), limiting our understanding of their ecological differences.

First record of Diaphus rafinesquii (Cocco, 1838) (Myctophidae) in the Norwegian Sea

Fauna Norvegica, 2013
The myctophid Diaphus rafinesquii is endemic in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean and was for the first time found in the Norwegian Sea. The specimen was captured off northern Norway at about 71° N, representing the northernmost record so far ...

Mesopelagic Fish Traits: Functions and Trade‐Offs [PDF]

Fishes inhabiting the mesopelagic zone of the world's oceans are estimated to account for the majority of the world's fish biomass. They have recently attracted new attention because they are part of the biological carbon pump and have been reconsidered ...
