Fishes are the dominant vertebrates in the ocean, yet we know little of their contribution to
carbon export flux at regional to global scales. We synthesize the existing information on fish …

Deep-sea fishes inhabit∼ 75% of the biosphere and are a critical part of deep-sea food
webs. Diet analysis and more recent trophic biomarker approaches, such as stable isotopes …

The role of fishes in the global carbon cycle is poorly known and often neglected. We show
that the biomass of mesopelagic fishes off the continental USA west to longitude 141° W is …

Applications of acoustic and optical sensing and intensive, discrete‐depth sampling, in
concert with collaborative international research programmes, have substantially advanced …

The increasing use of trophic position (TP) for assessing and describing ecosystems has
resulted in the emergence of novel techniques for accurate and accessible measurements …

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 …

A size‐selective loss of smaller microplastics (< 1 mm) from surface pelagic waters has been
reported, yet few surveys have studied biological ingestion by deep‐pelagic organisms as a …

Zooplankton and suspended particles were sampled in the upper 100m of the Gulf of Mexico
with the High Resolution Sampler. This towed-platform can concurrently sample …

The connection between epipelagic and deep-sea mesopelagic realms controls a variety of
ecosystem processes including oceanic carbon storage and the provision of harvestable fish …

Lanternfishes (Myctophidae) are among the most abundant, widespread, and diverse fish
groups in the world ocean. They account for a significant part of oceanic fish biomass and …
