Mesopelagic fishes are an important component of the world's oceans in terms of their
abundance, biomass, and ecosystem function. These fishes are important contributors to the …

Mesopelagic fishes may contribute substantially to marine carbon transport by consuming
organic carbon near the surface at night and releasing it in the mesopelagic zone during the …

The behavior of the mesopelagic fish Benthosema glaciale was studied at 60° N in mid‐
summer. We hypothesized that diel vertical migration (DVM) is constrained by short and …

Acoustic meso-and bathypelagic studies are scarce in the Bay of Biscay but increasing over
the last years. This study provides a description of seasonal and bathymetric variation in the …

Non-migratory bristlemouth fishes (Cyclothone spp.) are the most abundant vertebrates on
Earth and play an important role in the biological carbon pump by remineralizing organic …

Deep scattering layers (DSLs) play an important role in pelagic food webs, and are
inhabited by the world's most abundant invertebrates. Recent research has begun to reveal …

There is a growing interest in the study of mesopelagic and bathypelagic species due to
their implication in the active carbon flux and climate change. Underwater acoustics is one of …

Vertical distribution of deep scattering layers (DSL) has been related to dissolved oxygen
and illuminance levels as well as to horizontal water mass boundaries. Regional differences …

Mesopelagic fish constitute the most abundant vertebrate group in the marine environment.
The current work reports on results of three seasonal acoustic cruises carried out in the Gulf …

The use of acoustic scattering models provide estimates of single target echoes that allow
acousticians to convert acoustic information into biologically meaningful measures. The …
