          Abstract

          Se estudian los peces mesopelágicos capturados en la capa profunda de dispersión sónica (DSL), en cinco transectos ubicados entre los 18°25' y 21°47'S frente a las costas de la I Región de Chile. Los transectos se extendieron desde las 10 a las 100 millas de la costa y las capturas se realizaron mediante una red de ti po IKMT de 9,16 m² de boca, en septiembre de 1988. Conjuntamente se registró la DSL mediante un equipo SIMRAD (32 KHz de frecuencia) y las condiciones de temperatura y salinidad de cada: estación. En el área y período de estudio se detectaron 39 especies y 21 familias. En términos de biomasa la familia más importante fue Myctophidae (22%), mientras que en número de individuos destacó Gonostomatidae (67%). El 62% de la ictiocenosis correspondió a especies de aguas temperadas (tropicales y/o subtropicales) y un 7,7% a especies de aguas frías (antárticas y/o subantárticas), sin que se pierda el carácter transicional de la comunidad. El análisis de diversidad de Shannon- Wiener y de similitud de Winer mostró la existencia de 4 grupos discretos de estaciones, determinados por condiciones oceanográficas y masas de agua particulares. La DSL mostró un descenso hasta los 250 m de profundidad durante el día y la separación de una capa que asciende hasta la superficie durante la noche

          Mesopelagic fishes captured in the deep scattering layer (DSL) off the I Region of Chile, in 5 transects between 18°25' and 21°47'S, from 10 to 100 miles offshore, were studied. A 9.16 m² mouth IKMT net was used. The DSL was registered with a SIMRAD ecosounder at frecuencies of 32 Khz and jointly the oceanographic conditions at each station were recorded. In 23 sampling stations 20 families and 39 species of fishes were detected. Most abundant families were Myctophidae and Gonostomatidae, the former with 22% of total fish biomass and the latter 67% of total captured specimens. 62% of the identified species were temperate water elements (tropical andlor subtropical) and 7,7% cold water species (antarctic andl or subantarctic), showing that the community structure is transitional between tropical and subantartic communities. The Shannon-Wiener index (diversity) and Winer index (similarity) showed the existence of four discrete groups of stations, determined by the oceanographic conditions and water masses. The DSL showed an upper limit at 250 m during the day and the separation of a layer that ascended to the surface during the night

            Deep scattering layer migration and composition: observations from a diving saucer.

            A-E Barham (1966)
            The distribution of a myctophid fish and physonect siphonophores observed during dives in the Soucoupe off Baja California closely correlates with scattering layers recorded simultaneously with a 12-kcy/sec echo sounder. These organisms were observed while they were migrating vertically, and at their night and daytime levels. They are capable of rapid, extensive changes in depth.
