Trophic structure of micronekton in the Northwest Pacific Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
IntroductionStable isotope analysis has been widely used in the study of the trophic structure of marine micronekton in recent years.MethodsIn this study, the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope values of fish, cephalopod, shrimp and zooplankton species ...

Biogeography of Micronekton Assemblages in the Natural Park of the Coral Sea [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Mesopelagic resources are central to the ecosystem but remain poorly studied mainly due to the lack of observations. This paper investigates the assemblages of micronekton organisms and their habitat in the Natural Park of the Coral Sea around New ...

Synthetic pelagic biomass size spectra of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic

Ecosphere
Synthetic normalized biomass size spectra (NBSS) comprising non‐synoptically sampled phytoplankton, meso‐ and macrozooplankton, and micronekton including mesopelagic fishes were explored to analyze pelagic community structure in seven regions of the ...

Acoustic Assessment of the Micronekton Community on the Chatham Rise, New Zealand, Using a Semi-Automated Approach

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Micronekton are a key component of the pelagic food web of the Chatham Rise east of New Zealand. The Chatham Rise is an important fishing area for hoki (Macruronus novaezelandiae), New Zealand’s largest finfish fishery, and a predator on mesopelagic fish.

Spatiotemporal analysis of micronekton biomass at the mouth of the River Plate

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences
The region adjacent to the River Plate is renowned for its fishing activity and abundant biodiversity. Both are closely linked to the significant local river flows responsible for fertilizing extensive marine areas.

Zooplankton and micronekton active flux around the Iberian Peninsula

Frontiers in Marine Science
The biological carbon pump comprises a set of processes that transfer organic carbon from the ocean surface to its depths, playing a vital role in the global carbon cycle.

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.

Species distribution models describe spatial variability in mesopelagic fish abundance in the Southern Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionMesopelagic fishes play a central role in the transfer of energy through open-ocean food webs, particularly in the Southern Ocean where they are both important predators of zooplankton and a key prey group for many higher 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.

VERDA: A Multisampler Tool for Mesopelagic Nets

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Different types and systems to discriminate plankton samples at different strata in the water column have been developed in recent decades. For sampling at sufficient depth, opening and closing zooplankton multinets are ideal because there is no ...
