We usually consider the fish community as being “well-mixed”. What this means is that we model the fish food-web, but we do not represent how fish distribute themselves horizontally or vertically. We make this assumption because many fish are very mobile and distributed over large areas. As long as we model one ecosystem, such the […]
One of the main goals of the team from the University of St Andrews in SUMMER is to estimate the biomass of fish in the mesopelagic zone (200 – 1000 m depth). We intended to do this from several different cruises to European waters, but then Covid struck. Covid aside, the task at hand remains […]

Lancetfishes (family Alepisauridae) are one of the largest fishes inhabiting the mesopelagic zone. They are characterised by their incredibly high dorsal fin, slender long body, and long sharp teeth. Their teeth indicate that they are voracious predators. However, the fish has weak, jelly-like muscles and is therefore not suited for long fast-paced swimming to chase […]
SUMMER’s ambition is to obtain the information vital for a sustainable use of ocean resources through a comprehensive understanding of ocean functioning across its full depth. SUMMER will establish a protocol to accurately estimate mesopelagic fish biomass, quantify the ecosystem services provided by the mesopelagic community (food for aquaculture, for humans, for other wild fish, […]

The ocean plays a major role in regulating the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide can be dissolved in seawater and carried to depth by ocean currents (the solubility carbon pump) but it can also be carried there having entered the marine food web (the biological carbon pump). The total growth of […]
Researchers from AZTI (Spain), National Oceanography Centre (UK), University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain) and St Andrews University (UK) have joined the 185th campaign of the METEOR research vessel. During one month they have travelled along the coast of Spain (Bay of Biscay, Asturias and Galicia), Portugal, part of the coast of Morocco […]
With a changing climate, it is important to understand the links between ocean productivity and fish food web variations – in order to predict future changes in fisheries production. Benthic (seafloor) and planktonic (surface) energy pathways sustain the food webs of fish. In a recent paper by P. Daniel van Denderen et al. they examine […]
