Abstract

The enormous and complex web of interrelated species that makes up the coastal ecosystem is essential to preserving the equilibrium of marine life. Many fish families flourish in the Oregonian Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ), a special and dynamic habitat where they have adapted to the difficulties caused by low oxygen levels. Several major fish families in the OMZ are the subject of this lab report: the Myctophidae (Lanternfish), the Sternoptychidae (Hatchetfish), and the Stomiidae (Pacific Viperfish, Dragonfish, Tactostoma macropus, and Pacific Black Dragon)
