• Acoustic biomass estimation of mesopelagic fish: backscattering from individuals, populations, and communities (2015, methodology): “They thus link epipelagic and deep-water food chains and by transporting considerable zooplankton production to the deep ocean, may play a key role in biogeochemical cycling and carbon sequestration (Davison et al., 2013; Irigoien et al., 2014).”
• Mesopelagic fish biomass in the southern California current ecosystem (2015, background): “However, it is of the same order as combined acoustic and trawl estimate of mesopelagic fish biomass off Tasmania ( 30 g m 2; Koslow et al., 1997) and in the CCE ( 24 g m 2; Davison et al., 2013).”
• Quantifying carbon fluxes from primary production to mesopelagic fish using a simple food web model (2019, background): “This migration represents a direct pathway for export of organic C between the surface and deep ocean, along with the production of large fast-sinking faecal material (Davison et al., 2013).”
• From siphonophores to deep scattering layers: uncertainty ranges for the estimation of global mesopelagic fish biomass (2019, background): “Recent high mesopelagic estimates are therefore at least energetically possible if TEs to mesopelagic fish are of the order of 20% (Davison et al. , 2013; Heymans et al. , 2014; Rosenberg et al. , 2014; Jennings and Collingridge, 2015).”
• Frequency of Microplastics in Mesopelagic Fishes from the Northwest Atlantic (2018, background): “Asmesopelagic fish undergo large vertical migrations, they are known to play a key role in the cycling of carbon and nutrients to the deep ocean (Radchenko, 2007; Davison et al., 2013).”
• Trophic structure and food resources of epipelagic and mesopelagic fishes in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre ecosystem inferred from nitrogen isotopic compositions (2015, background): “Midwater fish-mediated carbon export out of surface waters has been estimated as 15% of total carbon export in the northeast Pacific Ocean (Davison et al. 2013).”
