Zooplankton and the ocean carbon cycle

"Barely visible to the naked eye, gelatinous zooplankton is an important part of the marine ecosystem. In addition, the small organisms also transport large quantities of carbon into deeper layers of the ocean, thus making an important contribution to marine carbon transport. This is underpinned by new studies by an international team of researchers recently published in the renowned journal Global Biogeochemical Cycles." - Excerpt from Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel
