Retinal properties of the mesopelagic fish Diaphus sp.: vision under dim light conditions

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014
Deep-sea fishes inhabit an environment where light plays a crucial ecological role with consequences on their behaviour, but little is known on how visual adaptations evolved to these specific light conditions. The mesopelagic zone is the transition from

Carbon export and transfer to depth across the Southern Ocean Great Calcite Belt [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2015
Sequestration of carbon by the marine biological pump depends on the processes that alter, remineralize, and preserve particulate organic carbon (POC) during transit to the deep ocean.

Bioactivity Profiling and Untargeted Metabolomics of Microbiota Associated with Mesopelagic Jellyfish Periphylla periphylla

Marine Drugs, 2023
The marine mesopelagic zone extends from water depths of 200 m to 1000 m and is home to a vast number and diversity of species. It is one of the least understood regions of the marine environment with untapped resources of pharmaceutical relevance.

Governance Relevant Insights on Harvesting in the Mesopelagic Zone [PDF]

, 2021
With the population growing and countries becoming more affluent, diets shift. These global dietary shifts contribute greatly to increasing greenhouse gas emissions because of their higher carbon and water intensities.

An upper mesopelagic zone carbon budget for the subarctic North Pacific [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Abstract. Mesopelagic zone (MZ) carbon budgets comparing supply with demand can be difficult to constrain due to the temporal and spatial offsets between key sources and sinks, and due to nuances of the measurement techniques used, their associated uncertainties, and potential sampling biases.

Trophic Diversity of Plankton in the Epipelagic and Mesopelagic Layers of the Tropical and Equatorial Atlantic Determined with Stable Isotopes

Diversity, 2018
Plankton living in the deep ocean either migrate to the surface to feed or feed in situ on other organisms and detritus. Planktonic communities in the upper 800 m of the tropical and equatorial Atlantic were studied using the natural abundance of stable ...

Rich and underreported: First integrated assessment of the diversity of mesopelagic fishes in the Southwestern Tropical Atlantic

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Mesopelagic fishes play critical ecological roles by sequestering carbon, recycling nutrients, and acting as a key trophic link between primary consumers and higher trophic levels.

Controls over Ocean Mesopelagic Interior Carbon Storage (COMICS): fieldwork, synthesis and modelling efforts

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016
The ocean’s biological carbon pump plays a central role in regulating atmospheric CO2 levels. In particular, the depth at which sinking organic carbon is broken down and respired in the mesopelagic zone is critical, with deeper remineralisation resulting
