| An analysis of sedimentological, sediment trap and hydrological data was performed to investigate the transport and fate of particulate matter in the Gulf of Lions. The sedimentological properties outline the major sedimentary units of the shelf (Rhone prodelta, mid-shelf mud belt, outer shelf) and slope. The geometry of these sedimentary units and the southwestwards increase of particulate fluxes on the slope highlight the influence of the general cyclonic circulation on the dispersion of land-derived particulate matter. Considering the known input and output terms, budgets of particulate matter and organic carbon in the Gulf of Lions are proposed. Inputs were river supply, atmospheric deposition and primary production; outputs were sediment burial and... |

| 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... |
