Swimbladder morphology masks Southern Ocean mesopelagic fish biomass [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 Within the twilight of the oceanic mesopelagic realm, 200–1000 m below sea level, are potentially vast resources of fish. Collectively, these mesopelagic fishes are the most abundant vertebrates on Earth, and this global fish community plays a vital role

Nighttime Swimming Behavior of a Mesopelagic Fish [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Nocturnal migration of mesopelagic fish into surface waters is well-documented. Yet, although there is increasing evidence of individual-based deviations from average population migrations and of the importance of small-scale individual behavior for ...

Large mesopelagic fish biomass in the Southern Ocean resolved by acoustic properties [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2022 The oceanic mesopelagic zone, 200–1000 m below sea level, holds abundant small fishes that play central roles in ecosystem function. Global mesopelagic fish biomass estimates are increasingly derived using active acoustics, where echosounder-generated ...

Exploitation of mesopelagic fish stocks can impair the biological pump and food web dynamics in the ocean [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe demand for marine living resources is increasing at an unprecedented scale because of the need for continuous food provision to the world’s population. The potential of already exploited fish stocks to meet this demand is limited.

Mesopelagic Fish Biodiversity in the Ligurian Cetacean Sanctuary [PDF]
DiversityMesopelagic fish belonging to the families Gonostomatidae, Phosichthyidae, Sternoptychidae, Stomiidae, Paralepididae, Myctophidae, Evermannellidae, Microstomatidae, and Nemichthyidae were sampled using an Isaacs Kidd Midwater Trawl (IKMT) in the Ligurian

Microplastic interactions with north atlantic mesopelagic fish [PDF]
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 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.

Mesopelagic fishes are important prey for a diversity of predators
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Through daily vertical movements, mesopelagic fishes contribute to global carbon export and, when eaten, link primary consumers to higher trophic level predators.

Herding mesopelagic fish by light [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2019 To assess organisms forming mesopelagic scattering layers in the Red Sea, we took advantage of their reactions to light. We used a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with LED lamps for herding the acoustic targets down to the bottom (700 m), while ...

Diving deeper: Mesopelagic fish biomass estimates comparison using two different models [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 A growing population on a planet with limited resources demands finding new sources of protein. Hence, fisheries are turning their perspectives towards mesopelagic fish, which have, so far, remained relatively unexploited and poorly studied.

Evidence of temperature control on mesopelagic fish and zooplankton communities at high latitudes [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Across temperate and equatorial oceans, a diverse community of fish and zooplankton occupies the mesopelagic zone, where they are detectable as sound-scattering layers. At high latitudes, extreme day-night light cycles may limit the range of some species,
