Vertical distribution and migration of fishes of the lower mesopelagic zone off Oregon
Marine Biology, 1982An exceptionally large midwater trawl (50 m2 mouth area) with 5 opening and closing codends was towed horizontally in the lower mesopelagic zone at depths of 500, 650, 800 and 1000 m off Oregon (USA) from 1–6 September, 1978. In comparison to more conventional trawls, ours collected more fish, including rare species and large individuals of common ...

Climate damage from fishing the mesopelagic zone exceeds its economic benefits
ICES Journal of Marine ScienceAbstract Mesopelagic fish represent an opportunity for fishing companies and food production, but their exploitation carries substantial environmental risks related to these populations’ role in the oceanic carbon pump. We assess the economic viability of mesopelagic fishing from a private economic perspective, focusing on costs and ...

Metabolism and chemical composition of crustaceans from the Antarctic mesopelagic zone
Deep Sea Research Part A. Oceanographic Research Papers, 1988Abstract Rates of oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion and phosphate excretion were measured in conjunction with analyses of water content, ash and four elements (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus) on seven crustacean species from the mesopelagic zone (200–1000 m depth) in the Antarctic Ocean.

Diversity and ecological dynamics of bioluminescent bacteria in the mesopelagic zone
Mesopelagic ecosystems, located between 200 and 1000 meters deep are poorly studied. They are characterized by complete darkness, driving organisms to develop specialized adaptive strategies1. One of the most remarkable of these adaptations is bioluminescence, enabling organisms to produce light for communication, camouflage, prey attraction, or ...Capucine Le Cam Ligier +7 more

Carbon cycling in the Mesopelagic Zone of the central Arabian Sea: Results from a simple model
2009Using a 3-D hydrodynamic-ecosystem model, Anderson et al. (2007) investigated the carbon budget of the mesopelagic zone of the central Arabian Sea and concluded that the vertical supply of sinking particles from the euphotic zone is sufficient to meet the carbon demand of the mesopelagic biota. Justifying this conclusion, they argued that the predicted

<p>The processes of particle aggregation and disaggregation are of paramount importance for ocean biogeochemical cycles. Particle aggregation leads to a transfer of particulate material and of their chemical constituents into large size fractions that can settle rapidly through the water column, thereby contributing to the ocean ...

Global Biogeochemical Cycles
AbstractMicrobial metabolism plays a critical role in global carbon cycling; however, our understanding of bacterial metabolic processes across the full depth of tropical oligotrophic oceans remains incomplete. The South China Sea (SCS) and Western Pacific (WP), as contrasting oligotrophic environments, provide an ideal setting to investigate this ...

Modeling micronekton diel vertical migration contribution to carbon export in the mesopelagic zone
Micronekton is a diverse group assemblage of marine animals, described as active swimmers ranging from 2 to 20 cm. Micronekton organisms perform diel vertical migrations, feeding on nutrient-rich surface waters during the night and migrate several hundred meters at sunrise to deep waters, where they digest their food, generating an active transport of ...Hélène Thibault +4 more
