A global biogeographic classification of the mesopelagic zone (2017, background): “This nature is exemplified by the absence in the core of the Arctic of the lanternfish family Myctophidae, a ubiquitous mesopelagic fish taxon found in all other oceans (Backus et al., 1977; Catul et al., 2011).”
Diet of whale sharks Rhincodon typus inferred from stomach content and signature fatty acid analyses (2013, background): “Myctophids are among the most abundant mesopelagic fishes, are widely distributed, and many migrate vertically from hundreds of metres depth during the day to 100 to 200 m depth at night (Watanabe et al. 1999, Catul et al. 2011).”
Quantifying carbon fluxes from primary production to mesopelagic fish using a simple food web model (2019, background): “…by U niversity of Southam pton user on 18 June 2019 of the mesopelagic fishes are the lanternfish (myctophids), which are ubiquitous throughout the world oceans, with the exception of the Arctic, and which comprise 33 genera and around 245 species (Catul et al., 2011).”
