School characteristics of mesopelagic fish at South Georgia [PDF]
Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 2013 Abstract In this paper, we describe the variation in myctophid schools characteristics at South Georgia using multi-frequency acoustic data collected annually between November 2007 and January 2012. We studied the relationship between the proximity of land and the distribution and schooling characteristics of myctophid fish. We also examined patterns

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Oxygen is critical for nearly all life on Earth, including aquatic species that breathe dissolved oxygen in both freshwater and marine systems. The rapid, global, and anthropogenic loss of dissolved oxygen known as “aquatic deoxygenation” threatens life in these environments, the human communities that depend on them, and Earth system ...

Archaeal Tetraether Lipids as Tracers for Past Marine Environmental Change
Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Archaea are single‐celled microorganisms that are abundant in marine environments and play a key role in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Archaea can biosynthesize a wide variety of isoprenoid membrane lipids, including isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (isoGDGTs).

Advancing Ecological Understanding and Sustainable Management of Small Pelagic Fish
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 850-864, July 2026.ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish (SPF) are critical to the trophodynamic structure and function of marine systems and support some of the most valuable and socially important fisheries worldwide. Their “boom and bust” population dynamics, shifts in distribution, and importance as forage resources for other fish stocks place unique challenges to assessing ...

Deep Dark Futures: Foresighting Human Impacts on Mesopelagic Ecosystem Services
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 876-894, July 2026.This study uses foresighting to explore four plausible future scenarios of human activity affecting mesopelagic ecosystem services; provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural. Using participatory scenario development, qualitative network modelling and indicator design, we assess systemic risks and early warning signals linked to harvest, climate

Factors affecting the fatty acid composition of mesopelagic fish of the continental slope in the South China Sea [PDF]
, 2018 Study of the ecology of mesopelagic fish is central to assessing the active biological pump in the ocean, especially in the mesopelagic layer. As a consequence of the small size and pressure change, traditional stomach content analysis is not useful for ...
