Title The deep scattering layer (DSL) of Indian EEZ
 
Creator Menon, N G
 
Subject Oceanography
 
Description The deep scattering layer is a trophic network that carry
numerous food chains, some of which end up in species of high
economic value, such as oceanic squids, tunas, other scombroids,
pelagic sharks etc. These diurnally and vertically moving
bioacoustic layers are assemblages of mostly negatively phototropic
zooplankton and micronekton. The paper examines their
characteristics, sampling methods, ecosystem, bio composition and
future lines of research and management priorities and reviews all
works done in India on the DSL. The major database for this study
is drawn from the results of the initial surveys and samplings of
FORV Sagar Sampada in the Indian EEZ since 1985.
