Abstract

Shows a strong relationship between the composition of ambient food supply, ingested phytoplankton and faecal pellet content. In addition, faecal pellet sedimentation rates in July and August (4400 and 7700 m-2d-1 respectively) differed from those in September (168 000 m-2d-1). This was attributed to the change in phytoplankton composition. -from Author
