The mesopelagic or 'twilight zone' of the oceans occurs too deep for photosynthesis, but is a major part of the world's carbon cycle. Depth boundaries for the mesopelagic have now been shown on a global scale using the distribution of pelagic animals detected by compiling echo-soundings from ships around the world, and been used to predict the effect of global warming on regional fish production.
海洋中的中层带（又称“暮光带”）深至光合作用无法发生的区域，但却是全球碳循环的主要部分。现在，通过整合来自全球船只的回声探测数据来检测远洋动物的分布，从而在全球范围内确定了中层带的深度界限，并利用这些数据来预测全球变暖对区域鱼类产量的影响。
