Article Synopsis
- * Fecal pellet carbon (FPC) production rates were found to be significantly higher at night, mainly due to the diel vertical migration of larger copepods into near-surface waters, affecting the overall biomass and taxonomic diversity of zooplankton.
- * The highest FPC production occurred in fall, associated with increased diversity of larger zooplankton, while summer showed the lowest production due to predation effects, indicating that estuarine FPC export is crucial for benthic-pelagic dynamics. *
