Note(s): Published calculations suggest that downward fluxes of respiratory carbon (RC) and dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) associated with diel-migrant zooplankton are significant forms of export production. In this study, we examined variability in downward fluxes of RC and DIN due to diel-migrant mesozooplankton (200–2000 μm) on seven occasions between 25 March and 8 April 1990 at the JGOFS (Joint Global Ocean Flux Study) station off Bermuda. Downward fluxes due to migrators crossing 150 m ranged from 6 to 41 mgC m−2 day−1 (RC) and 2 to 5 mgN m−2 day−1 (DIN).
