Salp fecal pellets release more bioavailable iron to Southern Ocean phytoplankton than krill fecal pellets
[eng] Over the last decades, it has been reported that the habitat of the Southern Ocean (SO) key species Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) has contracted to high latitudes, putatively due to reduced winter sea ice coverage, while salps as Salpa thompsoni have extended their dispersal to the forme...
