文摘

Particle profiles using a video plankton profiler and a digital inline holographic microscope Particle abundance at the surface is inversely related to the strength of the main pycnocline. Particle abundance at depth is significantly correlated with that at the surface. Phytoplankton and zooplankton comprise a large amount of exported particles. The relationship between chlorophyll and particle abundance varies greatly.
