Acoustic micronektonic distribution and density is structured by macroscale oceanographic processes across 17–48° N latitudes in the North Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
This study investigates the large-scale distribution patterns of the acoustic scattering layers and micronekton density across the Northeast Atlantic Ocean during daylight hours.

Comparative toxicity of hydrocarbons for evaluation of Lysmata boggessi as an experimental proxy for deep-water column micronekton [PDF]

Toxicology Reports, 2022
The potential impacts of sub-surface hydrocarbon plumes to deep-water column micronekton are an important consideration in a more complete understanding of ecosystem effects resulting from deep-sea oil spills.

Deep-sea mining discharge can disrupt midwater food webs [PDF]

Nature Communications
The Clarion-Clipperton Zone contains extensive beds of polymetallic nodules on the abyssal seafloor, with vast areas (~1.5 million km2) under license for deep-sea mining.

Mesopelagic Mesozooplankton and Micronekton Database [PDF]

Scientific Data
The Mesopelagic Mesozooplankton and Micronekton Database (MMMD) compiles quantitative data on the distribution and density of mesopelagic (200–1000 m) mesozooplankton and micronekton (0.2–20 mm and 20–200 mm) species, using 258 published and unpublished ...

Functional and Trophic Structuring of Micronektonic Fishes in the Northeast Atlantic [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
In pelagic ecosystems, sharp vertical gradients in resources and environmental conditions structure species adaptations, interactions and community assembly. Yet, the ecological mechanisms underlying these patterns remain poorly resolved.

Sonophore enables autonomous observation of micronekton communities in the ocean twilight zone [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The future productivity of pelagic ecosystems and fisheries globally remains uncertain due to a lack of data on mid-trophic mesopelagic micronekton communities.

Characterisation of pelagic seascapes through micronektonic and zooplanktonic scattering layers [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Landscape ecology is a key discipline for studying the relationships between spatial patterns and ecological processes, as well as for monitoring macro-scale changes in ecosystems.

High-resolution reanalysis biological ocean data from the Copernicus Marine Service Information for Philippine marine research [PDF]

Data in Brief
In the absence of observation data, remotely sensed data provides an effective alternative in characterizing spatiotemporal dynamics and patterns of oceanographic data.

Influence of oceanic conditions in the energy transfer efficiency estimation of a micronekton model [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2020
Micronekton – small marine pelagic organisms around 1–10 cm in size – are a key component of the ocean ecosystem, as they constitute the main source of forage for all larger predators.

Fine-scale vertical structure of sound-scattering layers over an east border upwelling system and its relationship to pelagic habitat characteristics [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2020
Understanding the relationship between sound-scattering layers (SSLs) and pelagic habitat characteristics is a substantial step to apprehend ecosystem dynamics. SSLs are detected on echo sounders representing aggregated marine pelagic organisms.
