Table 4 Fish production and respiration estimates. PP, MFP and respiration estimates along the Malaspina transect.
From: Large mesopelagic fishes biomass and trophic efficiency in the open ocean
Primary production (g C m−2 y−1) | Fish production median db/weight (g C m−2 y−1) | Fish production 75% db/weight (g C m−2 y−1) | Respiration median db/weight (g C m−2 y−1) | Respiration 75% db/weight (g C m−2 y−1) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Average (std) | 116 (50) | 2.7 (2) | 1.6 (1.2) | 12.2 (9) | 7.0 (5.2) |
