Mesopelagium is a restaurant in New Minneapolis, Canada specializing in seafood from the mesopelagic zone.
Menu
Offering include bristlemouths, blobfish, bioluminescent jellyfish, giant squid, and a myriad of other unique organisms adapted to live in a low-light environment.
Management
Mesopelagium is owned and operated by a cooperative of professional oceanographer-chefs.
Aquaculture facilities
All of the seafood is raised in underground aquaculture tanks which provide the high-pressure, low-light environment necessary to culture mesopelagic organisms.
Mesopelagic zone
The mesopelagic zone (Greek μέσον, middle), also known as the middle pelagic or twilight zone, is the part of the pelagic zone that lies between the photic epipelagic and the aphotic bathypelagic zones.

It hosts a diverse biological community that includes bristlemouths, blobfish, bioluminescent jellyfish, giant squid, and a myriad of other unique organisms adapted to live in a low-light environment. It has long captivated the imagination of scientists, artists and writers; deep sea creatures are prominent in popular culture, particularly as horror movie villains.
In the News
The Undersea World of Spock Cousteau is a 2021 drama film about a scientist (Leonard Nimoy) who suffers a time-travel brain injury which causes others to believe that he is Jacques Cousteau. Co-starring marine biologist Steven Zissou as "Cuddle Squid".
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Obligate Sexual Parasitism is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory.
Luminous Fish of the Deep Sea (1892).
