Mesopelagic Sound Scattering Layers of the High Arctic::Seasonal Variations in Biomass, Species Assemblage, and Trophic Relationships

Mesopelagic sound scattering layers (SSL) are ubiquitous in all oceans. Pelagic organisms within the SSL play important roles as prey for higher trophic levels and in climate regulation through the biological carbon pump. Yet, the biomass and species composition of SSL in the Arctic Ocean remain poo...
