We recorded vertical profiles of size distributions of particles (ranging from 0.052 to several mm in equivalent spherical diameter) in the natural iron-fertilized bloom southeast of Kerguelen Island (Southern Ocean) and in surrounding high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll (HNLC) waters with an Under Water Video Profiler during the Kerguelen Ocean and Plateau Compared Study cruise (Jan-Feb 2005). Total particle numerical abundance and total particle volume (TPV) in the 0-200-m layer were respectively 3-fold and 20-fold higher in the bloom, and integrated TPV was correlated to integrated chlorophyll concentration. The difference persisted well into the ocean interior with a 10-fold higher TPV at 400-m depth beneath the natural iron-fertilized bloom. Below 400 m,... |
