The website by our “sister project” MEESO is up! Visit it here! The MEESO research project aims at filling in major knowledge gaps on mesopelagic organisms living deep in the oceans and at evaluating whether they can be exploited in an ecologically and economically sustainable way. The project has 19 partners representing research and industry […]
The depth and unique characteristics of the Mesopelagic ecosystem (between 200 to 1000 metres depth), which is barely reached by light, have made it essential to combine several innovative technologies to estimate the mesopelagic fish biomass. The SUMMER project is using 4 different methods that provide data to measure the number of fish: ACOUSTICS VIDEO […]

Elements are vital building blocks for all life on earth. Primates, fish, and crustacean alike consist of a mixture of macroelements such as carbon, phosphorus and sulfur, and microelements such as iron and zinc, making their metabolism functional. Elemental composition of small mesopelagic organisms such as fish and crustacean are largely undocumented. In a newly […]

Their bodies can consist of up to […]
As in movies, science has a behind the “paper” history that illustrates the continuous challenge of hypothesis implicit to the scientific process. Here, we will tell you about one of those histories related to our friends, the mesopelagic fishes. Sometime during 2015 a group of researchers, presently involved in the SUMMER project, analyzed the vertical […]

Metro Bilbao is hosting a photographic exhibition about the most fascinating creatures that inhabit the mesopelagic zone, between 200 and 1,000 metres deep. The exhibition has been organized by AZTI scientific and technology centre within the framework of the European SUMMER project, financed by the European Union, to increase knowledge about the species of this […]
