(a)Scatter plots of total density (TAD) and<br />

total biomass (TAB) vs. observed POC<br />

flux using time lags presented in Table 1<br />

(b) average body size vs. POC flux based <strong>on</strong><br />

time lags in Table 1; and body size<br />

distributi<strong>on</strong>s for the top three most<br />

abundant phyla during an example<br />

(c) higher-than average flux period in June<br />

1990 and<br />

(d) a lower-than-average flux period in June<br />

1992. The Annelida typically were higher<br />

in abundance than the Arthropoda (P<br />

0.05, SI).<br />
