Hypoxia-tolerant zooplankton may reduce biological carbon pump efficiency in the Humboldt current system off Peru - Communications Earth & Environment

In the ocean, downward flux of particles produced in sunlit surface waters is the major component of the biological carbon pump, which sequesters atmospheric carbon dioxide and fuels deep-sea ecosystems. The efficiency of downward carbon transfer is expected to be particularly high in tropical upwelling systems where hypoxia occurring beneath the productive surface waters is thought to hamper particle consumption.
