- Abstract
The article presents a study which focuses on the collection and synthesis of the data of pteropod for the evaluation of global distribution of its carbon biomass. The study uses the weight algorithm to extract the abundance value and convert it to biomass. Results show that the values of biomass were lowest in the equatorial regions, while the highest mean and median concentration were located in the Northern Hemisphere (NH).
