The purpose of this project is to examine the flux and deposition               of zooplankton fecal pellets in the Black Sea.  Samples will be                 obtained from box cores, gravity cores, and sediment traps above                and below the oxic/anoxic boundary in the water column.  Seasonal               and spacial variability in the flux and composition of modern                   pellets will be determined and compared to the flux and content                 of the pellets buried in laminated Black Sea sediments.  This                   study will provide a model of the factors controlling fecal                     pellet sedimentation in an anoxic basin. The results may be used                to model the paleoflux of pellets in other basins where the                     pellets are poorly preserved due to microbial activity,                         oxidation, or bioturbation which are largely absent in the anoxic               Black Sea sediments.
