Mesopelagic fishes and squids play critical roles in mediating the transfer of energy through Southern Ocean pelagic food webs. However, the energy pathways comprised of mesopelagic fishes and squids remain understudied compared to those mediated by Antarctic krill Euphausia superba. In part, this h...

Mesopelagic fishes and squids play critical roles in mediating the transfer of energy through Southern Ocean pelagic food webs. However, the energy pathways comprised of mesopelagic fishes and squids remain understudied compared to those mediated by Antarctic krill Euphausia superba.

This has limited our understanding of mesopelagic fish and squid functional roles and baselines of community structure and function.
