Mesozooplankton grazing minimally impacts phytoplankton abundance during spring in the western North Atlantic
The impacts of grazing by meso- and microzooplankton on phytoplankton primary production (PP) was investigated in the surface layer of the western North Atlantic during spring. Shipboard experiments were performed on a latitudinal transect at three stations that differed in mixed layer depth, temper...
