Description 21-23
Sedimentation of organic and inorganic matter was determined at 2, 22, 42 and 62 m depths during 19 August to 30 September 1985 at a station in the Arabian Sea off Bombay. All the parameters measured of sedimented material increased with depth, probably due to resuspension. Decreasing ratios of particulate organic carbon (POC)/particulate organic nitrogen (PON); POC/particulate total phosphate (PTP); and PON/PTP suggest the mineralization and microbial growth on the sinking particles whereas, high ratios of POC/chlorophyll a equivalent indicate that less phytoplankton pigments are associated with the sinking particles. Settling particles had less organic carbon than suspended matter.
