1 The Census of Marine Life pilot project PATTERNS AND PROCESSES OF THE ECOSYSTEMS OF THE NORTHERN MID- ATLANTIC www.mar-eco.no

2 Area: Iceland – Azores Taxa/components: Pelagic, benthopelagic and epibenthic macrofauna. Fishes, cephalopods, gelatinous plankton, crustaceans. Planning phase: 2001-2003 Field phase: 2003-2005 Analytical phase: 2004-2008

3 The orange roughy, Hoplostethus atlanticus. Target of deep-sea fisheries on seamounts. Longevity at least 130 yrs., Size: to approx. 60 cm. Photo: J.D.M. Gordon, Scotland.

4 Selection of mesopelagic fishes, inhabitants of the twilight zone of the oceans. Photo: O.A. Bergstad, Norway.

5 Selection of demersal fishes, inhabitants of the near-bottom zone of the oceans. Photo: O.A. Bergstad, Norway.

6 Peculiar deep- sea squid, only known from photographs. This species can probably become 10 m long. Photo: M. Vecchione, USA.

7 Black scabbardfish, Aphanopus carbo. Rabbitfish, Chimaera monstrosa. Photos: J.D.M. Gordon, Scotland.

8 The euphausid Meganyctiphanes norvegica, important player in the oceanic food-web. A prey of many predators such as fishes, seabirds, and baleen whales. Photo: Øystein Paulsen, Norway.
