Life in the Twilight Zone constitutes a huge potential source of fishmeal and omega 3 fatty acids that could feed the world's population.

And there exists a lack of understanding of the biological processes in the Twilight Zone making it impossible to accurately estimate the fishing pressure the stocks can sustain.
