Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 We investigated changes in the assemblages of summer mesopelagic fish larvae between El Niño events and regular years in 2014–2018 and evaluated their relationships with the hydrographic conditions of the Gaoping waters off southwestern Taiwan.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The early life stages of fishes play a critical role in pelagic food webs and oceanic carbon cycling, yet little is known about the taxonomic composition and distribution of larval fishes in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) below the epipelagic (<200

Living in darkness: functional diversity of mesopelagic fishes in the western tropical Atlantic
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Mesopelagic zones (200–1,000-m depth) are characterized by relatively low light levels, cold waters, and often limited oxygen, forming a stable yet challenging habitat for their inhabitants.

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.

Quantifying carbon fluxes from primary production to mesopelagic fish using a simple food web model [PDF]
, 2018 An ecosystem-based flow analysis model was used to study carbon transfer from primary production (PP) to mesopelagic fish via three groups of copepods: Detritivores that access sinking particles, vertical migrators, and species that reside in the surface

Mesopelagic fishes in a hurry at low latitudes
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2022 We studied mesopelagic fishes in the Red Sea (22°N), hypothesizing that the rapid shifts between day and night at low latitudes would translate into rapid vertical migration speeds and brief near-surface ‘antipredation windows’. Using a bottom-moored echosounder, we found that diel vertical migration speeds of acoustical scattering layers were up to ...

Foods, 2021 Aquaculture produces most of the world’s seafood and is a valuable food source for an increasing global population. Low trophic mesopelagic biomasses have the potential to sustainably supplement aquafeed demands for increased seafood production.

Fishes, 2023 This work aims to describe the larval stages and the seasonal variation in the abundance of three mesopelagic species whose larvae are surprisingly abundant near coral reef areas in the Red Sea. The larvae were collected monthly using a plankton net (500

Growth and reproduction in mesopelagic fishes: a literature synthesis [PDF]
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2021 Abstract The mesopelagic zone covers a vast expanse of the World’s oceans and contains some of the most abundant vertebrates on the planet. This midwater region is central to the transfer of energy and carbon between the atmosphere and the deep, yet there are large knowledge gaps in our understanding of the life history of its animals ...

Diversity of Mesopelagic Organisms [PDF]
, 2022 The oceanic mesopelagic or twilight zone (from 200 to 1000 m depth) is inhabited by a huge variety of organisms represented by several zoological groups, both vertebrates and invertebrates.
