Discover OceansMesophotic ecosystems have been proposed as life rafts against anthropogenic impacts such as pollution, tourism, fisheries, sea warming, ocean acidification, and extreme meteorological events (storms, hurricanes, and waves).

Possible monitoring of mesophotic scleractinian corals using an underwater mini-ROV to sample coral eDNA. [PDF]
R Soc Open SciMesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are light-dependent tropical or subtropical communities occurring at depths of 30–150 m. Broader surveys of MCEs are needed to better understand stony corals, the keystone species of coral-reef ecosystems.

Caratterizzazione fisiografica, geomorfologica e bionomica della Rias di Santa Teresa di Gallura: Sardegna nord-orientale = Physiographic, geomorphological and bionomic characterization of the Santa Teresa di Gallura Rias (N.E. Sardinia) [PDF]
, 2011 An underwater survey in the Rias of S. Teresa di Gallura was made to characterize the benthic environment by integrating three methods: Side Scan Sonar, ROV, SCUBA diving. The main bionomic features at different depths were described and mapped.

Coral reefsWhile mesophotic assemblages in the Gulf of Aqaba have been described in some detail, in the Red Sea proper, data are rare. Here we present a first report on a detached carbonate platform fragment from the Northern Red Sea off Al Wajh that stretches over

Shedding Light on the Italian Mesophotic Spongofauna
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringAn analysis of 483 remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dives carried out along the Italian coast on hard substrata at mesophotic depths (40–200 m) allowed an overview of the rich sponge diversity (53 taxa) of the deep continental platform to be obtained for the first time.

Coral reefsBlack corals are important components of mesophotic and deep-water marine habitats. Their presence at great depths (e.g., 50 to 200 m) makes accessibility difficult, limiting our understanding of the associated biodiversity.

Fish ecology of mesophotic coral ecosystems
, 2017 Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; reefs 30-150 m depth) are largely unstudied. This thesis uses the shallow reef to MCE depth gradient around Utila, Honduras, to address research questions in three themes: (i) understanding fish community ecological processes on MCEs; (ii) evaluating effective survey techniques for MCE fish research; and (iii ...

International Conference on Data Technologies and Applications: Marine bioconstructions are complex habitats that represent a hotspot of biodiversity. Among Mediterranean bioconstructions, those thriving on mesophotic bottoms on southeastern Italian coasts are of particular interest due to their horizontal and ...
