Musculotendinous system of mesopelagic fishes: Stomiiformes (Teleostei)

Journal of Anatomy, 2021
AbstractEvery night the greatest migration on Earth starts in the deep pelagic oceans where organisms move up to the meso‐ and epipelagic to find food and return to the deeper zones during the day. One of the dominant fish taxa undertaking vertical migrations are the dragonfishes (Stomiiformes).

Adaptations in mesopelagic fishes

Marine Biology, 1989
Mesopelagic fishes were collected from depths of 400 to 900 m off Oregon (USA) in September 1983, October 1985 and June 1989. Species of mesopelagic fish without diel vertical migrations (non-migrators) are known to have high body-and muscle-water contents relative to epipelagic and vertically migrating mesopelagic species.

Proximate composition of Antarctic mesopelagic fishes

Marine Biology, 1990
Eleven 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.

Sensory Brain Areas in Mesopelagic Fishes

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2001
Four areas of the brain that receive primary projections from chemical senses ([1] olfactory bulb, [2] facial and vagal lobes), the eye ([3] optic tectum), and somato- and mechanosensory systems such as the lateral line, vestibular and auditory systems ([4] trigeminal and octavolateral regions) have been studied and relative size differences used to ...

Target strengths of two abundant mesopelagic fish species

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015
Mesopelagic 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 ...

A review on mesopelagic fishes belonging to family Myctophidae

Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2010
Myctophids are mesopelagic fishes belonging to family Myctophidae. They are represented by approx. 250 species in 33 genera. Called as “Lanternfishes”, they inhabit all oceans except the Arctic. They are well-known for exhibiting adaptations to oxygen minimum zones (OMZ-in the upper 2,000 m) and also performing diel vertical migration between the meso-

The mesopelagic fish fauna of the Newfoundland Basin

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1985
The mesopelagic fish fauna of the Newfoundland Basin is relatively depauperate. The specimens that were taken, 6760 in number, represented 51 species and 28 families. The majority were rare, 22 species occurring in only one sample and only 8 species occurring in more than 50% of the samples.

Patterns and selectivity in the feeding of certain mesopelagic fishes

Marine Biology, 1974
Stomach contents were analysed from the 7 most numerous species of mesopelagic fish caught in a series of 11 hauls over a 24 h period at 230 to 266 m depth in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean. The numerical abundance of organisms per filled stomach and the frequency of occurrence of empty stomachs were used to indicate feeding periodicity.

Distinctiveness of the mesopelagic fish fauna in the Gulf of Mexico

Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2008
Abstract We quantify the similarity of the Gulf of Mexico mesopelagic fish fauna to that in adjacent oceanic regions, the Venezuelan and Colombian Basins of the Caribbean Sea and the North and South Sargasso Seas. The South Sargasso and Colombian are the least similar of the areas in terms of their faunal composition, and the Venezuelan and Colombian
