| As part of the multidisciplinary programme ECOMARGE (ECOsysteme des MARGEs continentales) an experiment to measure vertical flux of particles was carried out in the golfe du Lion off Banyuls-sur-Mer (Lacaze-Duthiers canyon) over a period of 17 days in autumn 1983. Sediment traps were deployed at depths of 100, 200 and 315 m in a water column 350 m deep. The trapped material appeared to consist of fine muddy sediment and numerous biogenic debris. Total mass flux increased linearly with depth from 4 g m super(-2) day super(-1) at 100 m to 13 g m super(-2) day super(-1) at 315 m. The lithogenic fraction was predominant at all depths (55 to 60% of total mass flux). Trap-collected fecal pellets were categorized by different shape classes and enumerated. Mass... |
