In an effort to protect biodiversity, experts are pushing for enhanced scrutiny on new commercial activities in one of the planet's most vulnerable zones. As reported by Mongabay, delegates at the ...
A new study offers the first direct evidence that deep-dwelling mesopelagic fish, which account for up to 94% of global fish biomass, excrete carbonate minerals at rates comparable to shallow-water ...
Oarfish can grow longer than 20 feet and normally live in a deep part of the ocean called the mesopelagic zone, where light cannot reach. A rarely seen deep sea fish resembling a serpent was found ...
The ongoing decline in ocean oxygen levels is intensifying due to climate change, significantly impacting marine ecosystems, including mesopelagic fish populations. This could disrupt marine food webs ...
Beneath the surface of our oceans lies a vast ecosystem so poorly understood that scientists estimate thousands of species remain undiscovered. The mesopelagic twilight zone—occupying roughly 60 ...
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) researchers have shown large sharks can spend hours deep in the oceans' mesopelagic zone, which lies 200 to 1,000 meters (650 to 3,300 feet) below the ...

“The crushing pressure can be anywhere between 100 to 400 atmospheres, which would kill a human instantaneously.”
Between 1,000 and 4,000 metres deep, there isn’t any sunlight at all so creatures find new strategies to survive ...
New research sheds light on the overlooked contribution of the ocean’s most abundant fish to marine carbon cycling. The findings open new avenues for studying deep-sea carbon dynamics and may improve ...
