海洋的深海动物群可被视为包括那些白天生活在可见光穿透深度以下的海洋中深处黑暗中的海洋动物。在夜间，这些深海动物大多数垂直向上迁移，有些甚至到达了水面。目前的研究仅限于用中层拖网捕捞的动物，拖网的网目尺寸为半英寸，捕捞深度约为500米。所涉区域包括南部非洲沿海沃茨和西南印度洋。
The bathypelagic fauna of the sea may be regarded as comprising those pelagic animals which dwell during daylight hours in the darkness of the mid-depths of the ocean, below the depth to which visible light penetrates. At night most of these bathypelagic animals migrate vertically upwards and some actually reach the surface. The present study was limited to animals obtained with a mid-water trawl, with netting of half-inch stretched mesh size, fishing down to a depth of approximately 500 metres. The area covered included southern African coastal waters and the South West Indian Ocean.
