On 25 march 2022, a hybrid workshop with new knowledge and insights of the mesopelagic zone will be held.
On 25 March 2022 9.30 am - 16.00 GMT, Ireland's Seafood Development Agency, who is part of the MEESO project, hosts a workshop about the mesopelagic zone. The event takes place as a hybrid meeting – online and on Castletroy Park Hotel, Limerick, Ireland.
At this high-level, professionally moderated seminar a panel of Irish and international scientific experts share their knowledge and insights of the mesopelagic zone.
Topics covered include:
- Acoustic survey estimates.
- Modelling mesopelagic fish and their ecosystems.
- Catching, processing and economic considerations.
The mesopelagic zone exists at a depth of between 200 and 1000 metres below the ocean surface, occupying 60% of the earth’s surface. The zone contains a wide variety of fish species. However, until recently there has been little focused research activity in this area.
