Changes in aggregate size with (a) turbulence intensity and (b) aggregate volume concentration. Changes in average major axis length (\(\bar{{M}{a}{j}{A}{L}}\), cm) of aggregates (n = 567) with corresponding measures of: (a) average turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate (\(\bar{\varepsilon }\), W kg−1) and (b) total aggregate volume concentration (Vagg, ppm). All values were calculated over 10-m depth intervals. The black solid line in (a) shows the Kolmogorov length scale and grey dashed lines in (a,b) indicate regression lines.
