Calanus hyperboreus and the lipid pump
Abstract Lipid‐fuelled overwintering by copepods can be a regionally important contribution to carbon sequestration in the deep oceans. Here, we estimate the contribution for Calanus hyperboreus , found in abundance in the northern reaches of the North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean. Estimates for region...
