    High uncertainty in fish bioenergetics impedes precision of fish-mediated carbon transport estimates into the ocean’s twilight zone
    (Elsevier, 2023-07-07) McMonagle, Helena I. ; Llopiz, Joel K. ; Hilborn, Ray ; Essington, Timothy E.
    Mesopelagic fishes may contribute substantially to marine carbon transport by consuming organic carbon near the surface at night and releasing it in the mesopelagic zone during the day. However, the magnitude and uncertainties associated with this transport are not well understood; fish-mediated carbon flux estimates range from less than 1 % to greater than 30 % of biologically-driven carbon export out of the epipelagic zone. While total mesopelagic fish biomass is an important source of uncertainty, information on fish bioenergetics and movement might also limit the precision of carbon transport estimates. Here, we ask how uncertainties in fish bioenergetics and behaviors affect carbon flux estimation, and which processes contribute most to uncertainty. We used sensitivity analyses to reveal that modeled carbon flux was most sensitive to respiration-related parameters, and per capita fish carbon flux estimates varied six-fold over the range of plausible parameter values. Biomass estimation can add at least ten-fold variation in ecosystem-scale carbon flux estimates. We conclude that it is not currently possible to estimate fish-mediated carbon flux precisely, but estimates may be constrained through future empirical work on the most influential parameters.
