We studied vertical distribution and diel vertical migration (DVM) behaviour of mesopelagic acoustic scattering layers in relation to environmental conditions in the Norwegian Sea, the Iceland Sea, the Irminger Sea, and the Labrador Sea. Distinct mesopelagic scattering layers were found in all basin...
