Phosphorus Excretion and Body Size in Marine Animals: Microzooplankton and Nutrient Regeneration
Science.
.
Abstract
In marine animals the rate of excretion of dissolved phosphorus per unit weight increases as body weight decreases. As a consequence microzooplankton may play a major role in planktonic nutrient regeneration.
