A contribution to the knowledge of the photophore (luminous organs) structures of two species of bathypelagic fish of the Strait of Messina: Argyropelecus hemygimnus and Maurolicus muelleri is given by means of a structural and ultrastructural study.
In Maurolicus muelleri, the photocytes are placed in two separate rooms in the single photophore called “tank” and "projector” (Bassot 1960), while Argyropelecus hemygimnus has only one room inside of which there are photocytes and from which every photophore, provided with a dioptric apparatus, diverges.
Structural differences were identified even in the lens, in Maurolicus muelleri it is not very thick, (one or two cellular layers), while in Argyropelecus hemygimnus the thickness of the lens is quite marked.

 9. MESOPELAGIC FISH
Maurolicus muelleri was caught at four stations between 21°S and 27°S. At two of these stations it was the dominant species and at one it ranged second.
During daytime Benthosema fibulatum and Maurolicus muelleri were also caught in this layer.
Maurolicus muelleri was fairly common in parts of the area studied.

Structural and ultrastructural comparison of photophores of two species of deep-sea fishes: Argyropelecus hemigymnus and Maurolicus muelleri
The structure of the photophores (luminous organs) of two species of deep-sea fishes from the Strait of Messina, Argyropelecus hemigymnus and Maurolicus muelleri, was examined.
Although significant structural differences were identified between species, especially in photophore organization and distribution, ultrastructural comparisons indicated a marked similarity between them.

An advection-diffusion model was used to simulate vertical distribution of Maurolicus muelleri eggs.
This simulation was achieved taking into account the characteristics of eggs and physical features of the water.
The time integration required for the best fit was of approximately 35 h.

In May and July, the winter-spring cohort was distributed only in the transition zone (TZ) south of the subarctic boundary.
This cohort preyed primarily on crustaceans such as euphausiids and amphipods in May, but in July, their primary prey shifted to the sternoptychid fish Maurolicus imperatorius.
In May, the larger-sized autumn cohort was also distributed only in the TZ, but in July, these individuals migrated to the transitional domain (TD) north of the subarctic boundary.

The data were obtained from the Tasman Sea off the New South Wales coast and eastern Bass Strait in April and May 1977.
Data were obtained from acoustic and trawl surveys of Light fish (Maurolicus muelleri) and Jack mackerel (Trachurus declivis) and other demersal and pelagic fish including Lampanyctodes hectoris and Apogonops anomalus.
Courageous cruise 019 was undertaken to carry out intercalibrations of bottom trawling gear between Courageous and commercial vessels, to carry out experimental fishing of the light fish Maurolicus muelleri, and to undertake further opportunistic sampling of jack mackerel.

 Are there more fish in the Front? - NIWA
Many scientific studies have focused on the Chatham Rise and some of the work carried out by NIWA has been reported in past issues of Water and Atmosphere.
Pearlside (Maurolicus mulleri) – one of the small fish species that probably plays an important role in the ecosystem of the Subtropical Front over Chatham Rise.
Net tows in the area collected small numbers of mid-water fishes, mainly pearlside (Maurolicus mulleri) and other small fish known as myctophids.

 Stomach Pumping: Is Killing Seabirds Necessary?
We tested the efficiency of Wilson's stomach pump on four species of petrel and review its use in other birds.
Seven White-chinned Petrels (Procellaria aequinoc- tialis) (mean mass 1,250 g) from Marion Island (46ø52'S, 37ø51'E) each were fed a large meal (125 g) of squid (Loligo sp.), lightfish (Maurolicus muelleri), and antarc- tic krill (Euphausia superba) in equal proportions, then pumped and killed after varying intervals.
The amount (mass and number of prey items) of food recovered by stomach pumping was expressed as a proportion of the total stomach contents (determined by dissecting out the oesophagus and proventricu- lus) and compared with the total stomach contents.

 Stellwagen Bank Site Report-Common Cetaceans
Read and others (1993b) examined the stomach contents of harbor porpoises killed incidentally in Gulf of Maine fisheries and found two fishes dominated: herring, Clupea harengus, and silver hake, Merluccius bilinearis.
Squid, Illex spp., as well as pearlsides, Maurolicus muelleri, and lanternfish, Ceratoscopelus maderensis, were also found.
In the Gulf of Maine, calves have been sighted from Nantucket northward to the Bay of Fundy with the majority of calf sightings occurring in the north during the summer (CeTAP 1982).
