- •
Modeled salp C export is on average equal to 10% of the 200 m sinking POC flux in the Sargasso Sea.
- •
During salp bloom periods, salp C export is high (accounting for 79% of total 200 m salp POC flux across the time series).
- •
Fecal pellet production is the largest source of exported salp C.
- •
Salp C export is equivalent to sinking POC flux measured at 3200 m.
