The impact of food regimes on the feeding dynamics, bioelemental composition and community structure of the two Southern Ocean salps Salpa thompsoni and Ihlea racovitzai are studied. During a mesoscale iron fertilisation experiment (EIFEX) in the Southern Ocean Polar Frontal zone, S. thompsoni showe...
