• Effects of migrating mesopelagic fishes on the biological carbon pump 

      Aksnes, Dag Lorents; Løtvedt, Anita Stene; Lindemann, Christian; Calleja, Maria Ll.; Morán, Xosé Anxelu G.; Kaartvedt, Stein; Thingstad, T. Frede (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Mesopelagic fishes and invertebrates contribute to the biological carbon pump (BCP) through direct and indirect effects on the gravitational, diffusive, and migrant (active) fluxes. Here, we analyzed the effect of these ...
    • Flexible behaviour in a mesopelagic fish (Maurolicus muelleri) 

      Klevjer, Thor Aleksander; Røstad, Anders; Aksnes, Dag Lorents; Kaartvedt, Stein; Christiansen, Svenja (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Variability of mesopelagic scattering layers is often attributed to environmental conditions or multi-species layer composition. Yet, little is known about variation in behaviour among the individuals forming scattering ...
    • Poleward distribution of mesopelagic fishes is constrained by seasonality in light 

      Langbehn, Tom; Aksnes, Dag Lorents; Kaartvedt, Stein; Fiksen, Øyvind; Ljungström, Anna Jeja Gabriella; Jørgensen, Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Aim: Mesopelagic fishes have a near-global distribution in the upper 1,000 m from tropical to sub-Arctic oceans across temperature regimes. Yet, their abundance decreases poleward and viable populations seem excluded from ...
