Abstract
Sediment traps and benthic respirometers have been used to measure the supply of particulate materials to, and the use of organic material by the North Atlantic deep-sea benthos. The area of the sea floor less than 2 kilometers deep is relatively small but accounts for 85% of the total oceanic benthic oxygen consumption, which reflects the primary productivity of the surface waters....
