Mesopelagic fish collected during 3 field campaigns in 2020 were analysed for their lipid content. The sampling was conducted on 5 main locations; 2 stations in the Western...

Fatty acid (FA) composition has increasingly been used to estimate the dietary preference of marine organisms. Specific fatty acids and fatty acid ratios serve as trophic...

Isotopic data are valuable to investigate species interactions and food web structure. This file compiles δ13C and δ15N values of various marine taxa; most of data correspond to...

Stable isotope analysis (SIA) has emerged as a valuable tool for understanding the trophic structure of the marine food web and gaining insights into trophic levels and niche....

Knowledge on life history traits of mesopelagic fishes is still sparse. This dataset contains reproductive data of the myctophid Electrona risso (Cocco, 1829) and the...

Mesopelagic fishes experience an extreme body transformation from larvae to adults. DNA barcoding has been useful in establishing phylogenetic relationships among mesopelagic...

This file contains data on numerical abundance of mesopelagic fishes collected in April 2015 across the tropical and equatorial Atlantic. Twelve stations were visited day and...

This file contains data on numerical abundance of mesopelagic fishes collected in winter (December 2009) and summer (July 2010) in the Balearic Islands region. A relatively...

The data is used in a comparative analysis of the diet of one of the globally most numerous myctophids, the Glacier lantern fish Benthosema glaciale, across four deep basins of...

The data submitted is used in a comparative analysis of the diet of one of the globally most numerous myctophids, the Glacier lantern fish Benthosema glaciale, across four deep...

The Benguela upwelling system is one of the most productive marine ecosystems in the world; however, little is known about the community structure of mesopelagic fishes in its...

During three cruises in the Mid Atlantic Ridge area in 2016 and 2017, we collected samples of mesopelagic species down to a depth of 600 m. We studied fish behaviour and...
