Mesopelagic fishes play critical ecological roles by sequestering carbon, recycling nutrients, and acting as a key trophic link between primary consumers higher levels. They are also an important food source for harvestable economically valuable fish stocks shallow deep-sea ecosystems. Despite their relevance, mesopelagic ecosystems increasingly threatened direct indirect human activities while representing some of the largest least understood environments on Earth. The composition,...
This study reports the occurrence of oceanic basslet (Howellidae) in Brazilian waters. Bathysphyraenops simplex Parr, 1933, a rare species with worldwide distribution, is recorded for first time waters, based on three specimens collected off Rocas Atoll and Rio Grande do Norte. Howella atlantica Post & Quéro, 1991, known from western eastern Atlantic Ocean (64°N to 21°S), including waters around Trindade Island, reported Norte, Pernambuco, Atoll, Fernando...
Length-weight relationship parameters were calculated for twelve mesopelagic fish species from the western Tropical Atlantic: Diretmus argenteus, Melamphaes polylepis, Bolinichthys distofax, Diaphus lucidus, splendidus, Electrona risso, Hygophum taaningi, Taaningichthys bathyphilus, Melanolagus bericoides, Winteria telescopa, Diplophos taenia, Astronesthes similus. Data was collected off northeastern Brazil April 9th to May 6th, 2017. Hauls conducted during day and night at 47 stations by...
New data on the taxonomic composition and distribution of rare deep-sea species Bathylagidae, Microstomatidae, Opisthoproctidae (Argentiniformes) collected off northeastern Brazil, including Rocas Atoll, Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, seamounts Rio Grande do Norte State are provided. Collections were made by French RV Antea during ABRACOS 2 (Acoustics along BRAzilian COaSt) expedition, between April 9 May 6, 2017. Among six argentiniforms identified, three reported for first time in...
