Abstract
The environmental and biological aspects of slope dwelling fishes of the North Atlantic are discussed in the form of answers to the following questions. (1) How do the physical features of the continental slope and shelf compare? (2) How does the physical environment of the slope differ from that of the shelf? How do the demersal species assemblages on the shelf and slope differ from one another and are the latter basically different from the pelagic oceanic assemblage? (5) How do the basic distribution patterns (vertical and horizontal) of slope-dwellers compare with their shelf-dwelling counterparts? (6) How does the vertical distribution pattern of fish biomass correlate with the trophic input to the oceanic environment? (7) What is known about deep-sea fish population structure and breeding biology?
