Fig. 1: Flux of particulate organic carbon (POC) in the drifting traps.
From: Krill and salp faecal pellets contribute equally to the carbon flux at the Antarctic Peninsula
The flux of POC is shown in mg C m−2 d−1. The panels depict the POC flux for the five drifting traps (DF 1 to 5) deployed at 200 and 300 m, respectively for 24 h each. The total POC flux is depicted in grey, and the respective flux of faecal pellets (FP) is shown in pink for krill FP, in dark blue for salp FP consisting of phytoplankton, and in light blue for salp FP consisting of ingested krill FP.
