The relative importance of phytoplankton aggregates and zooplankton fecal pellets to carbon export: insights from free-drifting sediment trap deployments in naturally iron-fertilised waters near the Kerguelen Plateau (2014, background): “…fecal pellets found in the literature range over approximately 1 order of magnitude between 0.01 and 0.1 mg Cmm−3 (González and Smetacek, 1994; González et al., 1994, 2000; Carroll et al., 1998), leading to potential strong variations in carbon flux estimations if large volumes of fecal…”
Feces in Aquatic Ecosystems (2001, background): “For example, only 5% of copepod feces produced in the photic zone of the Humboldt Current were found in sediment traps at 300 m (Gonzalez et al. 2000), and Gonzalez (1992) found a more than 99% decrease in fecal strings of euphausiids from the upper 50 m to depths of 500–1000 m in polar waters.”
The humboldt current system of northern and central chile : Oceanographic processes, ecological interactions and socioeconomic feedback (2007, background): “This production also constitutes an important way of sequestering CO2 and supports a high rate of particulate organic matter (POM) exported to depth (González et al. 2000a, Pantoja et al. 2004).”
Correcting for underestimation of microzooplankton grazing in bottle incubation experiments with mesozooplankton (2001, methodology): “6% glutaraldehyde and 10% glycerine for determination of trophic status of the protists, according to our own modification of the method of Grebecki (1962), Hobbie et al. (1977) and Caron (1983).”
Chemical and Biological Studies of Particulate Organic Matter in the Ocean (2002, background): “Temporal and spatial variations in hydrography, together with differences in phyto- and zooplankton community structures, can significantly affect faecal pellet sedimentation fluxes (Viitasalo et al., 1999; Sarnelle, 1999; González et al., 2000).”
