Winter distribution of macroplankton and micronekton in Masfjorden, western Norway

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1988
Masfjorden was investigated as a potential site for sea ranching of cod. The macroplankton and micronekton were studied in order to reveal the distributional patterns of species and biomass during winter. The biomass was dominated by the mesopelagic fishes Benthosema glaaale and Maurolicus muelleri, the pelagic shrimps Pasiphaea multidentata and ...

Mesopelagic Particle Layers in the Dynamic Hypoxic Northern Benguela Are Shaped by Zooplankton Activity

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Hypoxic (O2 < 60 μmol kg−1) waters are found below 27% of the ocean surface and are predicted to expand in the near future; however, the organic carbon cycle in these regions is far from understood. Here we study the origin, composition, and temporal variability of mesopelagic particle layers in the hypoxic northern Benguela.

Characterizing the Central Structure of a Mesoscale Eddy‐Ring Dipole in the Mozambique Channel From In Situ Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract During the RESILIENCE cruise aboard the R/V Marion Dufresne II (April 19–24 May 2022), a high‐resolution in situ observation campaign investigated a mesoscale dipole in the Mozambique Channel, composed of a large anticyclonic ring and a cyclonic eddy.

Recent advances in the Mediterranean researches on zooplankton: from spatial–temporal patterns of distribution to processes oriented studies

Advances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2010
In this review we focus on research performed by Italian scientists on pelagic communities, from microzooplankton to micronekton, mainly in the Italian Seas. We considered published data, mostly as grey literature, and unpublished ones.

Mesopelagic Fish Traits: Functions and Trade‐Offs

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 1, Page 83-103, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Fishes inhabiting the mesopelagic zone of the world's oceans are estimated to account for the majority of the world's fish biomass. They have recently attracted new attention because they are part of the biological carbon pump and have been reconsidered as a contribution to food security.

Feeding habits of splendid alfonsino Beryx splendens in the vicinity of Kuroshio, the south of Japan

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Gut contents and nitrogen isotope ratio (δ15N) analyses were conducted on splendid alfonsino Beryx splendens collected in the vicinity of Kuroshio from May 2015 to November 2016 (n = 708) to identify their feeding habits in the Western North Pacific.

Acoustics characterization of micronekton spatial distribution in Indian Ocean using scientific surveys and integrated marine observing system database: Acoustics characterization of micronekton

2015 IEEE/OES Acoustics in Underwater Geosciences Symposium (RIO Acoustics), 2015
In this work scientific echosounder were used hull mounted onboard R/V Marion Dufresne II to scrutinize the vertical distribution of micronekton according to water masses characteristics along transect which were discriminated with spatial remote sensing data.

Carbon injection potential of the mesopelagic-migrant pump in the Southern Ocean during summer

Frontiers in Marine Science
The passive sinking flux of particles, termed the biological gravitational pump (BGP), is an important component of the ocean’s biological carbon pump. In addition, carbon-rich particles are actively injected to depth through the diel vertical migration (

Distribution, population biology, and trophic ecology of the deepwater demersal fish Halosauropsis macrochir (Pisces: Halosauridae) on the mid-Atlantic Ridge.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Halosauropsis macrochir ranked amongst the most abundant and widespread demersal fishes on the mid-Atlantic Ridge of the North Atlantic (Iceland-Azores) with greatest abundance at 1700-3500 m.
