species. Seamounts cover a broad depth range and host some species that may not qualify as true ‘‘deep-sea’’ fishes, yet even these include very few species having ‘‘highly resilient’’ charac-
teristics. While these resilience ratings are based on preliminary estimates or characteristics for many species, they are generated through well-established empirical relationships observed in shallow-water species and suggest that deep-sea environments do constrain productivity in many deep-sea fishes.
