Description / Table of Contents:
[...] The purpose of the present study has been to identify and quantify processes between the microzooplankton, their prey and predators, that determine the fate of particulate matter in relation to its sedimentation out of or retention within the euphotic zone, with the help of field and laboratory studies. Field investigations were conducted in the East Greenland Sea, where an a long-term sediment trap mooring is deployed. Investigations were conducted along the path of drifting sediment trap arrays in June / July 1989 and August / September 1990, where rate measurements in the pelagial were coupled to an analysis of particulate material sedimenting at the base of the euphotic zone. These were complemented by laboratory studies to investigate the degradation of algal pigments by protozoan grazers, and determine the formation of faecal material by microprotozoans.
