Salps (Salpa thompsoni) are conspicuous gelatinous zooplankton capable of rapid population increases, enabling them to respond quickly to unpredictable phytoplankton blooms common in the Antarctic. Body length was measured on salps collected from LTER zooplankton tows along the western Antarctic Peninsula. Salps have amongst the highest filtration rates of all zooplankton, and package their waste into large, fast sinking fecal pellets. These pellets provide a mechanism to export carbon fixed in the surface waters into the deep ocean. Since filtration rates and pellet size are positively related to the size of a salp, population estimates of grazing and exported carbon can be determined through length data.\n Funding and support provided by the National Science Foundation John Kerfoot National Science Foundation kerfoot@marine.rutgers.edu https://pal.lternet.edu/ information web browser Background Information Background information from the source information pointOfContact ecology habitats marine Population Studies populations zooplankton theme Palmer LTER project time latitude longitude time latitude longitude depth wind_speed wind_to_direction depth depth theme CF Standard Name Table v77 All data contained herein is licensed under the LTER Network Data Access Policy (https://lternet.edu/data-access-policy/).
