In the first paragraph of the Fish diversity and distribution across the North Atlantic section (page 1447), the sentence: “…for only 28% to the biomass…” has been corrected to “…for only 28% of the biomass…” and in the Reference section the authors names for the reference Mjanger et al (2017) should read: “Mjanger, H., Svendsen, B. V., Senneset, H., Fotland, Å., Mehl, S., and Salthaug A. 2017. Håndbok for prøvetakingavfiskogkrepsdyr. Versjon 3.16. Havforskningsinstituttetskvalitetssystem, 194 pp (in Norwegian)”

The captions for the Supplementary data were missing in the paper and have now been included:

Fig. S1 Pairwise scatterplots comparing 10 environmental variables measured during the cruise: average temperature, average salinity and average oxygen in three depth ranges (from 0 to 200 m, 300 to 700 m and 700 to 1200 m), and average fluorescence from 0 to 200 m.

Fig. S2 Pairwise scatterplots comparing environmental variables selected after inspection of correlation between variables and the variation inflation factor: temperature at 300–700m,  oxygen at 300-700m and oxygen at 700–1200m.

Fig. S3 Distribution maps of the (a) 18 and (b) 16 most abundant taxa in terms of (a) density and (b) biomass. The size of the circle illustrates the (a) number (number/1000 m³) and (b) weight (g/1000 m³).

Fig. S4 Length distributions per station for the 28 most abundant taxa in terms of density and biomass. The colour of the boxplots indicates the water temperature between 300 and 700 m depth. The boxes represent the 25^th to 75^th percentiles, the solid vertical line is the median and the whiskers illustrate 1.5x the interquartile range. Taxa written in bold show increasing sizes in northern and colder waters.

Table S1. Mean (number/1000 m³) and relative density (in % to the total community), mean (g weight/1000 m³) and relative biomass (in % to the total community) of the fish taxa per cluster. SD indicates the standard deviation.
