“…This is mainly due to the extensive combined works from Drs Dauvin, Bellan-Santini and Kaïm-Malka over many years. Whilst these researchers have focused on northern Atlantic waters (along with authors such as Sars 1895, Mills 1967, 1971), there has also been work on various parts of the Pacific Ocean. These include extensive studies on the eastern and Northern Pacific (Barnard 1954, 1961, and 1967, Dickinson 1982, 1983), and the western and tropical Pacific (Gurjanova 1951, 1955, Ren 2006, Dang and Le 2013).…”
