We have developed a global biogeographic classification of the mesopelagic zone to reflect
the regional scales over which the ocean interior varies in terms of biodiversity and function …

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

In the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures acting on the Earth system, urgent actions
are needed to guarantee efficient resource management and sustainable development for …

Mesopelagic fishes occur in all the world's oceans, but their abundance and consequently
their ecological significance remains uncertain. The current global estimate based on net …

Current methods for monitoring marine fish (including bony fishes and elasmobranchs)
diversity mostly rely on trawling surveys, which are invasive, costly, and time‐consuming …

The mesopelagic fish community of the western Mediterranean was studied during two
cruises carried out in December 2009 and July 2010 in the shelf and slope zones around …

In this investigation we analysed the changes in fish species occurrences and relative
abundances across the tropical and equatorial Atlantic, and their vertical distribution …

An inter-comparison and evaluation of methods for sampling and determination of
zooplankton distribution and biomass was conducted in a fjord environment (Storfjorden at …

Change in behaviour is usually the first response to human‐induced environmental change
and key for determining whether a species adapts to environmental change or becomes …

We present estimates of length–weight relationships (LWRs) of 55 mesopelagic fish species
of 13 taxonomic families based on data collected in the eastern tropical North Atlantic …
