Energy content of mesopelagic fish from Macquarie Island
The water and calorific content of fifteen species of mesopelagic sub-Antarctic fish from Macquarie Island were determined. Mean percent water content was 69–82%. Calorific content was highly variable between species, especially in the Myctophidae, where it ranged between 22.6–59.3 kJ·g −1 dry weigh...
