Shining a light on the composition and distribution patterns of mesophotic and subphotic fish communities in Hawai‘i [PDF]
As agencies shift from single-species management to ecosystem-based fisheries management, ecosystem models are gaining interest for understanding species dynamics in relation to oceanographic and ecological processes and human marine uses.

COVER PHOTO: On the mesophotic slopes of Reunion Island, coral reefs shift to coral forests. At 45–75 m depth, a dense Subergorgia cf. suberosa population forms a forest with gorgonian colonies reaching up to 1.5 m height, creating a complex, three‐dimensional habitat that supports diverse fish and invertebrate communities.

Diverse and ecologically unique mesophotic coral ecosystems in the central Indian Ocean
AbstractResearch on Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems (MCEs; 30–150 m) has grown exponentially in the last few decades, highlighting their rich diversity and extensive distribution. However, they are still largely underexplored compared to shallow-water coral reefs and frequently remain under-protected and under-represented in marine spatial planning.

Benthic Community Distribution Pattern in Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems in Bali and Lombok
The biological communities in the shallow waters of the Lombok Strait have been reported. However, studies on the mesophotic coral reef ecosystems (MCEs) in this area remain scarce. In this study, we investigated the distribution patterns of benthic communities at two observation points, Bali and Lombok in this area taking into account depth gradients.

Preliminary overview of exotic and invasive marine species in the Dutch Caribbean [PDF]
The marine exotic species of the Dutch Caribbean are less well-known than its terrestrial exotics. So far, only 27 known or suspected marine exotic species, some of which are also invasive are documented for one or more islands of the Dutch Caribbean ...
