Background Globally, shallow-water coral reef biodiversity is at risk from a variety of threats,
some of which may attenuate with depth. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs), occurring …

Abstract Aim Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are unique communities that support a
high proportion of depth‐endemic species distinct from shallow‐water coral reefs. However …

Understanding the diversity and ecology of deep-reef fishes is challenging. Due to intensive
and widely dispersed sampling, the Greater Caribbean (GC) fauna of species found on …

Fishes are an important component of coral reef ecosystems, and in comparison to other
marine phyla, the taxonomy of fishes is relatively robust. Some of the earliest explorations of …

Mesophotic and deeper reefs of the tropics are poorly known and underexplored
ecosystems worldwide. Collectively referred to as the 'twilight zone', depths below~ 30–50 m …

The first quantitative sampling method for deep cryptobenthic and epibenthic ichthyofauna
using trimix diving was performed at about 60 m depth at two localities off the island of Hvar …

Mesophotic reefs (30–150 m) occur in the tropics and subtropics at depths beyond most
scientific diving, thereby making conventional surveys challenging. Towed cameras …

Mesophotic (30–150 m) reef fish assemblages in the'Au'au Channel, between the Hawaiian
Islands of Maui and Lanai, were compared visually with neighboring shallow (< 30 m depth) …

Sažetak The new video on underwater scooter method in combination with rebreather diving
techniques was introduced and applied for visual census of fish assemblages. The presently …
