No guts, no glory!

The world’s industrial fishing fleet has been eyeing the ocean’s mesopelagic zone (aka the Ocean Twilight Zone) for its abundant fish populations. Marine biologists at WHOI have been surveying the gut contents of marlin, tuna, and sharks to understand how much apex predators rely on life in this mysterious middle ocean, and how extractive efforts could ripple up the ocean’s already taxed food chain.
