Diurnal vertical migration (DVM) of marine organisms is an ubiquitous phenomenon in the
ocean that generates an active vertical transport of organic matter. However, the magnitude …

Quantification of the actual amount of carbon export to the mesopelagic layer by both
zooplankton and micronekton is at present a gap in the knowledge of the biological pump …

Abstract The northern Benguela Upwelling System (nBUS) has been facing increasing
temperatures and decreasing dissolved oxygen (DO) levels over the last decades. This has …

Abstract Diel Vertical Migration (DVM) in marine ecosystems is performed by zooplankton
and micronekton, promoting a poorly accounted export of carbon to the deep ocean. Major …

Diel vertical migration (DVM) facilitates biogeochemical exchanges between shallow waters
and the deep ocean. An effective way of monitoring the migrant biota is by acoustic …

Zooplankton are important consumers of sinking particles in the ocean's twilight zone.
However, the impact of different taxa depends on their feeding mode. In contrast to typical …

Several factors have been reported to structure the spatial and temporal patterns of sound
scattering layers, including temperature, oxygen, salinity, light, and physical oceanographic …

The diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton contributes to the biological pump
transporting material from surface to deep waters. We examined the DVM of the zooplankton …

Acoustic data are an invaluable source of information for characterizing the distribution and
abundance of mid-trophic level organisms (MTLOs) in the ocean. These organisms play a …

Mesoscale anticyclonic eddies have been frequently observed in the South China Sea
(SCS) northern slope. Here we present the first multidisciplinary cruise conducted in an …
