This project aims to assess the biomass and ecological role of mesopelagic fish, which may constitute a significant portion of global fish stocks. It will develop methods to estimate their biomass and evaluate their potential for sustainable exploitation in food and pharmaceuticals.
The mesopelagic layer is one of the least understood ecosystems on Earth.
Recent research suggests that the fish biomass in the mesopelagic ecosystem might be 10 times higher than previously thought, and therefore represent 90 % of the fish biomass of the planet.
However, this estimate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty in the fraction of the community that is fish.
The potential high biomass has raised interest in its exploitation, mainly as a fish meal, but other potential exploitation…
