Abstract

A simple heuristic theory based on conservation of matter and describing the fate or autotropic production in pelagic ecosystems was developed. The theory was tested by monitoring autotrophic production of C, N, and P, sedimentation of C,N,P and zooplankton biomass. Results were consistent with predictions of the theory that the effects of zooplankton on sedimentation processes will depend on the tendency of particulate matter to directly sediment relative to the tendency of egested material to sediment.
