New research sheds light on the overlooked contribution of the ocean’s most abundant fish to marine carbon cycling. The findings open new avenues for studying deep-sea carbon dynamics and may improve ...

A new study offers the first direct evidence that deep-dwelling mesopelagic fish, which account for up to 94% of global fish biomass, excrete carbonate minerals at rates comparable to shallow-water ...

The ocean covers more than 70% of our planet’s surface, yet we’ve explored less than 5% of it. Below the sunlit waves lies an alien world of crushing pressure, eternal darkness, and bone-chilling cold ...
