Flexible behaviour in a mesopelagic fish (Maurolicus muelleri)
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2021 Abstract Variability of mesopelagic scattering layers is often attributed to environmental conditions or multi-species layer composition. Yet, little is known about variation in behaviour among the individuals forming scattering layers.

First Report on the Diet of the Angolan Flying Squid (Todarodes angolensis) in New Zealand Waters
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.The Angolan flying squid (Todarodes angolensis) is a southerly distributed, large‐bodied ommastrephid preyed upon by many large marine vertebrates such as the southern elephant seal and deep‐sea squalid sharks. Here, we report its diet in New Zealand waters for the first time, identifying prey items from the stomach contents of 58 adults using ...

Lipid classes of unsorted mesopelagic catch from in the Northeast Atlantic
, 2021 During three cruises in the Mid Atlantic Ridge area in 2016 and 2017, we collected samples of mesopelagic species down to a depth of 600 m and analysed wax esters, triglycerides, free fatty acids, cholesterol and phospholipids (g/100 g oil) of four catch

Chasing after Non-cyanobacterial Nitrogen Fixation in Marine Pelagic Environments
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Traditionally, cyanobacterial activity in oceanic photic layers was considered responsible for the marine pelagic dinitrogen (N2) fixation. Other potentially N2-fixing bacteria and archaea have also been detected in the pelagic water column, however, the

Assessing Zooplankton Communities' Influence on Particulate Organic Carbon Concentration
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.Abstract Zooplankton play a key role in setting the particulate organic carbon (POC) distribution in the ocean, but this role remains poorly quantified on large scales due to the complexity of zooplankton ecosystems and the sparsity and variability of observations.

Deep‐pelagic fishes: Demographic instability in a stable environment
Ecology and EvolutionDemographic histories are frequently a product of the environment, as populations expand or contract in response to major environmental changes, often driven by changes in climate.

Running the Gauntlet: Assessing the Threats to Vertical Migrators
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Diel vertical migrations (DVM) by zooplankton and nekton are driven by the selective advantage of avoiding visually cued predators near the surface during the hours of daylight.

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
