Evidence of Diel Vertical Migration of Mesopelagic Sound-Scattering Organisms in the Arctic
While sound scattering layers (SSLs) have been described previously from ice-covered waters in the Arctic, the existence of a viable mesopelagic community that also includes mesopelagic fishes in the Arctic has been questioned. In addition, it has been hypothesized that vertical migration would hardly exist in these areas. We wanted to check if deep scattering layers (DSLs) was found to the wes...

In this Quick Guide, Brierley provides a brief overview of a pervasive aspect of aquatic ecosystems, the daily movement of organisms up and down the water column.
متن کاملDiel vertical migration behaviour of Calanus hyperboreus
Samples historically collected and analysed by the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey in the North Atlantic and adjacent seas were used to examine temporal patterns in the near-surface abundance of copepodite stages V and V1 Calanus hyperboreus (n = a total of 32836 samples; mean latitude of samples = 54" N. SD = 6.7'). The occurrence of CV and V1 C. hyperboreus was largely restricted to sampl...
متن کاملDistribution and diel vertical movements of mesopelagic scattering layers in the Red Sea
The mesopelagic zone of the Red Sea represents an extreme environment due to low food concentrations, high temperatures and low oxygen waters. Nevertheless, a 38 kHz echosounder identified at least four distinct scattering layers during the daytime, of which the 2 deepest layers resided entirely within the mesopelagic zone. Two of the acoustic layers were found above a mesopelagic oxygen minimu...
متن کاملDiel vertical migration of Arctic zooplankton during the polar night
High-latitude environments show extreme seasonal variation in physical and biological variables. The classic paradigm of Arctic marine ecosystems holds that most biological processes slow down or cease during the polar night. One key process that is generally assumed to cease during winter is diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton. DVM constitutes the largest synchronized movement of biom...
