- Title
First-order estimate of the planktic foraminifer biomass in the modern global oceans.
- Authors
Schiebel, R.; Movellan, A.
- Abstract
The article presents a study which estimates the regional planktic-foraminifer assemblage-biomass (PFAB) extrapolation in the modern global oceans. The study used standardized water depth intervals, taxonomic and processing methods, and nano-spectrophotometry. Results show that protein content of crushed specimens such as Globigerinella siphonifera are not significantly different from species submitted to osmotic shock.
