Dispersion Overrides Environmental Variability as a Primary Driver of the Horizontal Assemblage Structure of the Mesopelagic Fish Family Myctophidae in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The lanternfishes (Myctophidae) are a highly speciose, globally-distributed family of fishes that constitute a dominant component of the global pelagic fauna.

Mesopelagic Scattering Layer Behaviors Across the Clarion-Clipperton Zone: Implications for Deep-Sea Mining

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) is a 4 million km2 area in the eastern Central Pacific Ocean exhibiting large variability in environmental parameters, particularly oxygen and primary production, that is being targeted for deep-sea polymetallic nodule ...

State of Satiation Partially Regulates the Dynamics of Vertical Migration

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Vertical migrations into shallower waters at night are beneficial for migrators as they reduce predation risk and allow migrators to encounter a higher density of prey.

Mesoscale Eddies Structure Mesopelagic Communities

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Mesoscale eddies play a key role in structuring open ocean ecosystems, affecting the entire trophic web from primary producers to large pelagic predators including sharks and elephant seals.

From micronekton to tuna

Tuna fishing accounts for over 70% of GDP in small island countries in the Western and Central Tropical Pacific. However, this activity is threatened by global warming, which could displace or reduce tuna populations.

Seasonal oceanography from physics to micronekton in the south-west Pacific [PDF]

Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2015
Tuna catches represent a major economic and food source in the Pacific Ocean, yet are highly variable. This variability in tuna catches remains poorly explained. The relationships between the distributions of tuna and their forage (micronekton) have been mostly derived from model estimates.

Meta-Analysis of Salmon Trophic Ecology Reveals Spatial and Interspecies Dynamics Across the North Pacific Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
We examined spatial patterns in diet, trophic niche width and niche overlap for chum, pink and sockeye salmon across the North Pacific during 1959–1969. This is a baseline period before major hatchery enhancement occurred coinciding with a negative phase

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Investigate Deep-Pelagic Ecosystem Dynamics in the Gulf of Mexico Following Deepwater Horizon

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The pelagic Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is a complex system of dynamic physical oceanography (western boundary current, mesoscale eddies), high biological diversity, and community integration via diel vertical migration and lateral advection.

Deep Dark Futures: Foresighting Human Impacts on Mesopelagic Ecosystem Services

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 876-894, July 2026.
This study uses foresighting to explore four plausible future scenarios of human activity affecting mesopelagic ecosystem services; provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural. Using participatory scenario development, qualitative network modelling and indicator design, we assess systemic risks and early warning signals linked to harvest, climate
