In the Norwegian coasts, fjord sills don’t seem to act as physical barriers limiting gen flow, as has been reported for other mesopelagic fish species. Read more in our paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #Ocean#TwilightZone#MesopelagicFish #Research #MarineEcology

Genetics in the Ocean's Twilight Zone: Population Structure of the Silvery Lightfish Across Its Distribution Range
The large estimates of mesopelagic fish biomass have long fuelled harvesting interests in the relatively untouched twilight zone of the ocean. The silvery lightfish—one of the most abundant species i...

Our analyses revealed habitat-driven differentiation in 3 main units: Mediterranean Sea, oceanic samples and Norwegian fjords. In the Mediterranean Sea, the complex topography of the Greek seas is probably shaping the genetic structure.

I am in Glasgow at #OSM26. Join me in the Poster Session on Wednesday (16:00-18:00) to know more about the selectivity of lanterfishes towards bioluminescent prey. #LightInTheOcean #TrophicEcology #Bioluminescence #MesopelagicFish

Their ability to tolerate low oxygen levels and the regular length of day and night in the study area are also key aspects. To read more see our paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... MEESO funded by @ec.europa.eu #Ocean#TwilightZone#MesopelagicFish #Research #MarineEcology

Why is the Arabian Sea a hotspot for myctophids?
Myctophids are the dominant mesopelagic fishes in most of the world’s oceans. They play a key ecological role and also have a potential for harvest. W…

In the Arabian Sea, the biomass of lanternfishes is particularly high, but dominated by only a few species. Much of the high production of the Arabian Sea is channelled via zooplankton to the stock of lanternfishes due to the low abundance of competing small pelagic fish.

𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗭𝗼𝗻𝗲 Why are so many lanternfishes in the Arabian Sea? Lanternfishes (Family Myctophidae) are one of the most common and abundant families among the fishes living in the twilight zone and play a key ecological role in the pelagic ecosystems.

Here's my take on a vampire squid dressed up as Bela Lugosi's version of Dracula. Here’s the twist: it doesn’t drink blood.

It lives in the dark, deep sea. But Instead of hunting the living, it drifts silently through the deep, collecting “marine snow”, tiny flakes of dead plankton and detritus sinking from the surface.

I am all in a sea of wonders.  Dracula, Bram Stoker The vampire squid Vampyroteuthis infernalis, it's name literally means “the vampire squid from hell.”  Sounds like a Halloween nightmare, right?

So behind the Dracula cape hides not a monster, but a gentle recycler keeping the deep sea clean. More about the squid: www.mbari.org/animal/vampi... #spookyspecies #biodiversity
