Session 8
The role of zooplankton in biogeochemical cycles

Co-Convenors:

Hiroaki Saito (Tohoku National Fisheries Research Institute, Japan)
Deborah Steinberg (Virginia Institute of Marine Science, USA)

Invited Speaker:

Santiago Hernandez-Leon (Universidad de Las Palmas de GC, Spain)

Zooplankton play an integral role in the cycling of elements in the sea. As key drivers of the biological pump, zooplankton feed in surface waters and produce sinking fecal pellets, and actively transport dissolved and particulate matter to depth via vertical migration. Zooplankton grazing and metabolism transforms particulate organic matter into dissolved forms, affecting primary producer populations, microbial remineralization, and particle export to the ocean’s interior. The elemental stoichiometry of zooplankton and their prey often differ, resulting in non-Redfieldcycling of C, N and P. We invite papers on role of zooplankton (both metazoan and protozoan) in biogeochemical cycles reflectingthe significantstrides that have been made in this area, as well as identifying crucial gaps in our knowledge. Topics may include, but are not limited to: the role of zooplankton in the biological pump, mesopelagic and deep sea processes, trophic interactions and nutrient cycling, ecological stoichiometry, effects on biogeochemical cycling (measured or modeled) of human or climate influencedchanges in zooplankton community structure, and regional comparisons or global syntheses of the importance of zooplankton in biogeochemical cycles. This session theme is closely related to research goals within IMBER (Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research).
