Sinking export of organic material in the High Arctic in fall 2006

Sinking export of organic material was investigated during the fall of 2006, using free-drifting, short-term particle interceptor traps . The particle interceptor traps were deployed at 9 stations along a transect spanning between the North Water polynya (Baffin Bay) and the Beaufort Sea. The traps were deployed from the CCGS Amundsen at three depths below the euphotic zone (50, 100 and 150 m) for a period between 8 and 29 hours. The analyses on the sinking material included total chlorophyll a and phaopigments (fluorometric determination), particulate organic carbon and nitrogen, biogenic silica, cell composition and abundance and fecal pellet abundance.
