Extract

This study forms a contribution to a series (Angel, 1969; Clarke, 1969; Baker, 1970; Badcock, 1970) describing the biological results of a detailed investigation of the ecology of an oceanic area located in the eastern North Atlantic, close to the island of Fuerteventura (Canary Islands). The scientific background and objectives of the investigation, conducted during September to December 1965, have been described elsewhere (Currie, Boden & Kampa, 1969). Our main interest lay in the biological composition and acoustic characteristics of sonic scattering layers, and it was therefore considered essential to sample the principal elements of the pelagic fauna within the depth range 0–1000 m in as quantitative and detailed a manner as was technically possible. The resulting biological collections represent a unique body of material, the analysis of which is directly pertinent to the vertical distribution, diurnal migration and ecological interrelationships of the mesopelagic fauna.
