Peru Upwelling Plankton Respiration: Calculations of Carbon Flux, Nutrient Retention Efficiency and Heterotrophic Energy Production
Oceanic depth profiles of plankton respiration are described by a power function, RCO2 = (RCO2 )0 (z/z0) b similar to the vertical carbon flux profile. Furthermore, because both ocean processes are closely related, conceptually and mathematically, each can be calculated from the other. The exponent, b, always negative, defines the maximum curvature of the respiration depth-profile and controls ...
متن کاملEl Niño related health hazards in India
The term El Niño (means Christ child in Spanish) was originally used by fishermen along the coasts of Ecuador and Peru to refer to a warm ocean current that typically appears around Christmas time and lasts for several months. Fish are less abundant during these warm intervals, so fishermen often take a break to repair their equipment and spend time with their families. Over the years, the term...
متن کاملLife in the sea of plenty: Seasonal and regional comparison of physiological performance of Euphausia hanseni in the northern Benguela upwelling system
a r t i c l e i n f o Variability in upwelling events may lead to periods of constrained food availability in the northern Benguela upwelling system (NBUS), thereby affecting the physiological state and metabolic activity of euphausiids. Most attention has so far been paid to seasonal effects but little is known about regional variability. Metabolic activity (expressed by respiration and excret...

Oceanic depth profiles of plankton respiration are described by a power function, RCO2 = (RCO2 )0(z/z0) , similar to the vertical carbon flux profile. Furthermore, because both ocean processes are closely related, conceptually and mathematically, each can be calculated from the other. The exponent b, always negative, defines the maximum curvature of the respiration–depth profile and controls th...
متن کاملPhytoplankton size structure and primary production in a highly dynamic coastal ecosystem (Rı́a de Vigo, NW-Spain): Seasonal and short-time scale variability
Size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass and primary production, together with net community metabolism, were measured in a coastal ecosystem (Rı́a de Vigo, NW-Spain) during a full annual cycle (July 2001eJuly 2002). On a seasonal scale, this ecosystem was characterized by two distinct oceanographic conditions, namely upwelling and downwelling favourable seasons. During the upwelling season, tota...
