On VERTIGO we adopted 3 approaches to examining particleRemineralisation / Respiration
i) Shipboard MicrowinklerIncubations and ETS
ii) In situ respirationchambers
ii) In situ remineralisationof settling particles

Methodology (i)
A DO sensor was deployed within the ‘inner sanctum’ of the sediment trap
Our cylinder was deployed at 150 m depth along with other CLAP and ball trapcylinders
A rotating ball design was employed to prevent swimmers enteringthe inner sanctum

The experiments
Three 72 h deployments 3 additional experimentsi) After deployment 3 the trap was placed in a tempControlled lab at atmospheric pressure and the Remineralisation signature was followed for a further 36 h
ii) The video nasty – acclimated Neocalanus spp.Were added to the water overlying the ball valve (whichWas coated with settled particles). Their behaviour was Filmed – both with the ball in a stationary and in rotatingState.
iii) A serial addition experiment was conducted with Neocalanus spp. – using microwinkler flasks to estimateTheir respiration rates

HOWEVER……
We recovered 9 copepodsNeocalanus cristatus from the inner sanctum at the end of the deployment
We set up a video of these animals at ambient temperature on the upper side of a ‘particle laden’ ball.It was clearly evident that they could ride the ball and access the innner sanctum

WHAT DO THE DATA TELL US?
Export flux (expressed as O2) = 74.29 umol L-1 over 36 h At 150 m
So remineralisation equals 6.2/74.3 i.e. 8% over 36 h
However, the particles that remineralised are a complex mixture of fast and slowsinkers (<10 m to 400 m d-1)
150 m
Mixed layer 40 m
Fast sinkersCould be 600 m deeperIf it was not intercepted and remineralized in ourtrap
