Eastward transport in the Southern Ocean is concentrated in jets associated with fronts in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), whereas flow along the Antarctic continental slope is strongly westward in the Antarctic Slope Current (ASC). The dominant mesopelagic fish endemic to the Southern Ocea...
