Role of echinoderms in benthic remineralization in the Chukchi Sea

The role of large, epibenthic organisms in carbon cycling at high latitudes is difficult to assess using standard ship-board collection techniques. We used a remotely operated vehicle equipped with bideo imaging to examine the distribution and abundance of epibenthic organisms in the northeast Chukc...

Zusammenfassung:	The role of large, epibenthic organisms in carbon cycling at high latitudes is difficult to assess using standard ship-board collection techniques. We used a remotely operated vehicle equipped with bideo imaging to examine the distribution and abundance of epibenthic organisms in the northeast Chukchi Sea during June 1998.
