Multidisciplinary studies of the particle cycle were carried out during two cruises in July–
August and November–December 1979 at 5° N 82° W in the Panama Basin as part of the …

Abstract Particulate matter divided into< 1-, 1-to 53-, and> 53-μm size fractions was obtained
using the Large Volume in situ Filtration System (LVFS) modified to collect four samples per …

In May 1983, two short-term (2.5 d) deployments of sediment traps at 100, 300, and 500 m
measured the sinking flux of mass (as dry weight), particulate organic carbon and carbonate …

Moored sediment traps were deployed from January 2004 through December 2007 at
depths of 550 and 800m in San Pedro Basin (SPB), CA (33° 33.0′ N, 118° 26.5′ W) …

Particle fluxes were measured in the center of Santa Barbara Basin on a bi-weekly basis for
a three-year period beginning in August 1993. Lithogenic material dominates the total flux …

changing apparatus which allowed for the division of the deployment into three intervals.
The flux was greatest f or the period from October to the end of January at each site. Organic …

By Cindy Lee, Stuart G. Wakeham and John I. Hedges jAlBOUT 10 years ago, the use of
sediment traps to measure oceanic particle fluxes and composition began to proliferate …

Fecal pellet fluxes were determined using a series of multireplicate traps set at 35, 65, 150,
500, 750 and 1500 m in the northeast Pacific. Fecal pellets appear to be important …

A 6 month sediment trap study (January–July 1988) conducted in San Pedro Basin off
southern California in which bi-weekly particulate samples were obtained, indicates that …

Fecal pellets produced by suspension‐feeding crustacean zooplankton, specifically
copepods and euphausids, have frequently been cited as an important mode of large …
