Otolith characterization and integrative species identification of adult mesopelagic fishes from the western North Atlantic Ocean

Fish diversity and ecology in the ocean’s mesopelagic zone are understudied compared to other marine regions despite growing interest in harvesting these potential resources. Otoliths can provide a wealth of taxonomic and life history information about fish, which can help fill these knowledge gaps;...
