Deep‐pelagic fishes are among the most abundant vertebrates on Earth. They play a critical
role in sequestering carbon, providing prey for harvestable fishing stocks and linking …

The biological carbon pump transports photosynthetically fixed carbon from surface waters
to depths. It removes carbon from the atmosphere and sequesters it in the deep ocean …

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 …

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 …

Diel vertical migration (DVM) is a widespread phenomenon in aquatic environments. The
primary hypothesis explaining DVM is the predation‐avoidance hypothesis, which suggests …

Fish‐mediated carbon export provides a significant proportion of the biological carbon pump
in oligotrophic regions. Bioenergetic models estimate this carbon transport, but many lack …

The biomass of deep-sea pelagic fishes could represent more than 90% of the total fish
biomass on earth, which represents an important potential for exploitation. However, this …

The deep scattering layer (DSL), a stratum of the marine diel vertical migration (DVM)
organisms inhabiting the mesopelagic ocean, plays a crucial role in transporting carbon and …

Body size is one of the main determinants of marine ecosystem structure and is correlated
with many behavioral processes such as diel vertical migration (DVM). Myctophidae, a …

The deep-pelagic environment encompasses ocean waters below 200 m depth, and
comprises 90% of the volume of the Gulf of Mexico. Deep-pelagic fishes are important prey …
