This trade-off is controlled by environmental forcing that can lead to changes of DVM pattern under changing environmental conditions. Time series of hydro acoustic surveys between 1995 – 2015 of three large Atlantic ecosystems (Canary Current - CCLME, Guinea Current - GCLME, and Benguela Current - BCLME) were analysed to calculate DVM patterns based on volume backscattering strength (Sv). DVM related descriptors (n=15) were calculated for areas according to bathymetric definitions (shelf = 10 – 150 m bottom depth, slope = 150 – 500 m bottom depth, and plain > 500 m bottom depth). Typical DVM I pattern, with micronekton descending during daytime and ascending during night-time, were observed on the slope and plain in all three ecosystems, but not on the shelf with only negative day-night values in the CCLME and BCLME. Lower daytime Sv values during the day compared to night-time suggest either less dense patches of micronekton leading to negative day-night differences in the CCLME and GCLME or insufficient measurements of certain depth strata (e.g., 0 – 10 m surface). Only a few significant and different DVM descriptors suggest a change in the CCLME and the GCLME in the last 20 years. All other insignificant descriptors assume natural variability in large Atlantic ecosystems. Our results provide insight into inter-annual variability in micronekton DVM patterns. %B ICAWA : International Conference AWA %8 2018/04/17-20 %$ 020 ; 021 ; 036 ; 032
