Time series of vertical flux of zooplankton fecal pellets on the continental shelf of the western Antarctic Peninsula (2012, background): “…sinking of fecal pellets and aggregates, and also by active transport by mesopelagic zooplankton that vertically migrate to the surface at night to feed, then egest fecal pellets in the deeper ocean during the day (Atkinson et al., 1996; Morales, 1999; Steinberg et al., 2000; Kobari et al., 2008).”
Zooplankton and the Ocean Carbon Cycle. (2017, background): “In the subarctic North Pacific, active transport by seasonal migration of Neocalanus spp. copepods (N. flemingeri, N. cristatus, and N. plumchrus) is comparably high, ranging from 2.0 to 4.3 g C m−2 y−1 below 150 m (Kobari et al. 2003, 2008).”
Pelagic fish and zooplankton species assemblages in relation to water mass characteristics in the northern Bering and southeast Chukchi seas (2012, background): “Small phytoplankton generally prevalent in ACW in the Chukchi Sea may be grazed on by small zooplankton taxa, but may be unable to sustain large zooplankton taxa (Kobari et al. 2008).”
Autotrophic picoplankton in mesozooplankton guts: evidence of aggregate feeding in the mesopelagic zone and export of small phytoplankton (2010, methodology): “At K2, the ontogenetic vertically migrating (OVM) copepods Eucalanus bungii, Neocalanus cristatus, and N. plumchrus were the dominant mesozooplankton and, at the time of our study, had begun their descent to enter into their diapause phase below 1000 m (Kobari et al. 2008).”
Mesopelagic zone ecology and biogeochemistry - a synthesis (2010, background): “Conspicuous in the subarctic North Pacific is the ontogenetic migrating population of Neocalanus species copepods (Miller et al., 1984; Tsuda et al., 1999; Kobari et al., 2008).”
