| In order to provide information on the production and the distribution of hydrothermal particulate and biological material produced by deep-sea hydrothermal vents, three moorings with sediment traps and currentmeters were deployed for one year in the Azores Triple Junction region. Two moorings were positioned close to two hydrothermal vent fields at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (Rainbow, 36 degrees 14'N, 33 degrees 54'W, 2250 in depth and Lucky Strike 37 degrees 17'N, 32 degrees 17'W, 1600 in depth). A third was moored out of the influence of the Rainbow vents representing the reference of the pelagic flux in this area. At the Rainbow field, particulate flux (range 341-634 g m(-2)d(-1)) showed a high temporal variation controlled essentially by the current... |
