Zooplankton and the Ocean Carbon Cycle. (2017, background): “Zooplankton size and species composition in particular affect pellet sinking rates, which range from tens to hundreds of meters per day for copepod and euphausiid pellets (e.g., Yoon et al. 2001) to more than 1,000 m d−1 for salps (Phillips et al. 2009).”
Effects of diet on sinking rates and erosion thresholds of mussel Perna canaliculus biodeposits (2004, methodology): “…have been made to calculate sinking rates from faecal pellet size, density and seawater characteristics using the equations of Komar et al. (1981), Stoke’s law and Newton’s second law (Komar et al. 1981, Taghon et al. 1984, Ladle et al. 1987, Deibel 1990, Butler & Dam 1994, Yoon et al. 2001).”
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): “5), with a peritrophic membrane interrupted at their extremities suggesting more probably an origin from euphausiids rather than copepods, which produce smaller fecal pellets with a continuous peritrophic membrane terminated by a pellicle (Gauld, 1957; Martens, 1978; Yoon et al., 2001).”
Time series of vertical flux of zooplankton fecal pellets on the continental shelf of the western Antarctic Peninsula (2012, background): “…5-220 m d-1 5 (Smayda, 1971; Small et al., 1979; Yoon et al., 2001), cylindrical krill pellets have sinking rates ranging from 16-862 m d-1 (Fowler and Small, 1972; Yoon et al., 2001), and salp pellets have the fastest sinking rates from 42-2700 m d-1 (Yoon et al., 2001; Phillips et al., 2009).”
