Metagenome-assembled genomes from particle-associated microbial communities in the mesopelagic zone of the Pacific Ocean. [PDF]
We report 10 particle-associated metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from the mesopelagic zone of Pacific Ocean seawaters. MAGs comprise members of Flavobacteria Halomonas , Blastomonas , Brevundimonas , Alteromonas, Shingomonas , Sphingopyxis ...

Nitrospina-Like Bacteria Are Potential Mercury Methylators in the Mesopelagic Zone in the East China Sea. [PDF]
In natural environments, the production of neurotoxic and bioaccumulative methylmercury (MeHg) is mediated by microorganisms carrying the genes hgcA and hgcB. However, the contribution of these microorganisms to mercury (Hg) methylation or MeHg accumulation in the ocean is poorly understood. Here we determined the total Hg (THg) and MeHg concentrations

Summer distribution of squids in the mesopelagic zone of the Sea of Okhotsk [PDF]
A large-scale trawl survey in August 1989 and data from other surveys indicate that the mesopelagic zone (depth 200-500m) of the Sea of Okhotsk is most densely populated with squids, wit maximum catches of more than 500kg/h.

Coastal acidification has been widely investigated in terms of its rationale and ecological effects in the last decade. However, the driving mechanism for acidification in open seawater, especially in mesopelagic water, is still poorly understood.

Carbon flow and food web structure in the mesopelagic zone of the North Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Mesopelagic ecosystems are vital habitats that link the euphotic zone and the deep ocean through food web interactions and carbon flow pathways. In this dissertation, I use carbon compound-specific stable carbon isotope analysis of amino acids (CSIA-AA ...

A RUpture‐Based detection method for the Active mesopeLagIc Zone (RUBALIZ): A crucial step toward rigorous carbon budget assessments [PDF]
International audienceDetermining mesopelagic organic carbon budgets is essential to characterize the ocean's role as a carbon dioxide sink. This is because the biological processes observed in the mesopelagic zone are crucial for understanding the ...

Increased ocean carbon export in the Sargasso Sea linked to climate variability is countered by its enhanced mesopelagic attenuation [PDF]
Photosynthetic CO2 uptake by oceanic phytoplankton and subsequent export of particulate organic carbon (POC) to the ocean interior comprises a globally significant biological carbon pump, controlled in part by the composition of the planktonic community.
