Description
Summary:FRUELA-96 Cruise (29HE19960118) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 1996 Carbon flow high productivity area: the western basin of the Bransfield Strait and Gerlache Strait, Antarctica. The FRUELA project is a Spanish contribution to the JGOFS program and its main objective is the cauntering of carbon fluxes in an area of high productivity of the Antarctic Ocean. Concrete goals. A) The determination of the abundances of the main groups of organisms (bacteria, phytoplankton, zooplankton, etc .) involved in the transfer of organic matter and the concentrations of the main chemical compounds involved. B) the estimation of 1) the amounts of organic matter synthesized by phytoplankton (primary production) and transferred against the various groups of organisms. 2) the amount of organic matter breathed and 3) the amount of organic matter that escapes from the upper parts of the water column and sediments to the bottom. 4) the temporal evolution (last decades) of the accumulation of carbon in the sediments, as a record of the accumulated in different areas of the ocean
