This research investigates how zooplankton locate and consume sinking particles in the ocean, focusing on appendicularians that produce large particles. The project aims to understand the predation and degradation processes of these particles, which are crucial for marine food webs and carbon cycling.
Little is currently known about the mechanisms by which zooplankton could find and locate sinking particles in the marine pelagic environment.
However this process is believe to be an important pathway in reducing the downward carbon flux in the ocean and could also be an important food supply for zooplankton organisms or fishes larvae.
In pelagic Ocean, appendicularians are important producers of large sinking particles through the continuous secretion of mucous filtering structures named “the…
