摘要

The balance between faecal pellet (FP) production and destruction that accelerates or diminishes vertical export has an effect on pelagic-benthic coupling, but is inadequately known. Production, export and retention of copepod FP were investigated in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) of the northern Barents Sea in July 2003. Older stages of Calanus finmarchicus and C. glacialis dominated the copepod biomass and FP production experiments revealed that more than 90% of the FP were produced in the upper 50 m where most of the copepods were located both day and night. Copepod pellets typically made up ~10% of the vertical particulate organic carbon flux, and significantly less than what was produced by the copepod community. This implies a variable but significant retention of pellets. We suggest that retention of FP is caused partly by the zooplankton themselves and that retention of FP is the rule rather than the exception in the Barents Sea, particularly during non-bloom scenarios.
