Export production in the Bay of Biscay as estimated from barium - barite in settling material: a comparison with new production
Description :
We present barium data for sediment traps deployed in a northeast Atlantic margin environment (Bay of Biscay). Fluxes of excess barium were measured with the objective of calculating carbon export production rates from the surface mixed layer and thus contribute to the understanding of organic carbo...

Spatial and temporal trends in nutrient concentrations in the Belgian Continental area of the North Sea during the period 1993-2000
Description :
Statistical analysis of nutrient data obtained during 8 years of monitoring indicated strong seasonal and spatial variability, with highest concentrations in winter and significantly higher concentrations (on average >2 times higher) in the salinity zone SÂ <Â 33 than in the salinity zone SÂ =Â 33. ...

Particulate barium stocks and oxygen consumption in the Southern Ocean mesopelagic water column during spring and early summer
Description :
Particulate barium was analysed in the upper 600 m of the Southern Ocean water column during repeated transects along the 6 degree W meridian in October-November 1992. The transects extended between the northern edge of the Weddell Gyre (57 degree 30'S) in the south to 47 degree S within the Polar F...

Improved estimation of f-ratio in natural phytoplankton assemblages
Description :
Statistical properties in non-linear regression models of f-ratio versus nitrate relationships were investigated using a case study conducted at the European continental margin (Project OMEX). Although the OMEX data fit within the family of empirical models introduced by Platt and Harrison (1...

Nutrient depletions in the Ross Sea and their relation with pigment stocks
Description :
The present article depicts a first attempt to relate the governing nutrient uptake regime and phytopigment signature of the Ross Sea. Based on nutrient and phytopigment data obtained during two cruises in the Ross Sea, two distinct groups were recognised. The first one was characterised by moderate...

Stable pollutants in the eastern part of the North Sea
Description :
The spatial distributions of most dissolved and particulate trace metals are, at least qualitatively, similar. Their concentrations decrease with distance from the coast and the mouth of the Scheldt estuary (particulates much stronger than dissolved species). The salinity gradient is similar (but op...

Total and toxic arsenic levels in North Sea fish (poster)
Description :
Levels of arsenic contamination in muscle and liver tissue of 25 seafish and 4 shellfish species from the North Sea and the English Channel were determined. Analyses were done both by ICP-MS and HG-AFS in order to distinguish between the toxic fraction, consisting of As(III), As(V), MMA and DMA on ...

Description :
Since the role of continental shelves and coastal areas in the global biochemical carbon are nowadays a leading concern in oceanographic research programmes, this study aims to define the specific effect of nutrients on the onset and development of the phytoplankton bloom at the ocean margins. Compa...

Barite formation in the Southern Ocean water column
Description :
The intensity of past biological activity can be correlated with the occurrence of suspended and sedimented barite (BaSO4). To date, there is a lack of information on the processes controlling the production of pelagic barite. During the EPOS-2 cruise (November-December 1988), situated in...
