The role of celestite, rapid sedimentation and the viability of the Acantharian cysts in the Iceland Basin is explored to further the current understanding of the cyst reproductive strategy, as well as discussing the implications for deep ocean carbon sequestration and the Strontium cycle. The composition of deep ocean particle flux, especially ...

[1] Particulate biogenic Ba, Sr and Ca and barite crystal contents from suspended matter were compared with acantharian water column distributions and individual Ba/Sr acantharian skeletal ratios during the European Iron Fertilization Experiment (EIFEX) in the Southern Ocean. In the upper 150 m, results indicate that the particulate biogenic Baxs signal …

The denseness of the celestite ensures their shells function as mineral ballast, resulting in fast sedimentation to bathypelagic depths. High settling fluxes of acantharian cysts have been observed at times in the Iceland Basin and the Southern Ocean, as much as half of the total gravitational organic carbon flux. [45] [46] [44]
(2010) Martin et al. Limnology and Oceanography. Acantharian cysts were discovered in sediment trap samples from spring 2007 at 2000 m in the Iceland Basin. Although these single-celled organisms contribute to particulate organic matter flux in the upper mesopelagic, their contribution to bathype...
Sedimentation basins have 4 zones 1. The Inlet zone, 2. The Settling zone, 3. The Sludge zone, and 4. The Outlet zone. Each zone should provide a smooth transition between the zone before and the zone after. Each and every zone has its own unique purpose. All zones are in a rectangular sedimentation basin. In a square or circular basin (clarifier),

By the time of Cambrian sedimentation, the basin mainly underwent three stages of evolution (Fig. 2). (1) The crystalline basement formation stage: Studying from different perspectives, researchers considered that the crystalline basement of the Ordos Basin mainly formed from Archean to Early Proterozoic, that is, after the movements of Qianxi ...
Primary Sedimentation Basins. There are two main classifications for conventional sedimentation basins: rectangular and circular. Conventional Basins. Conventional basins are rectangular or circular. Generally, they are 15 to 20 feet deep to allow proper sedimentation by keeping sludge, light floc (above the sludge), and clear water on the top ...

Evidence suggests that, at high latitudes, rapid, deep sedimentation of acantharian cysts recurs each spring. The cysts sink to depth to release gametes and then die. Juveniles may then ...
Acantharia are marine skeleton-bearing planktonic protists that form a monophyletic taxon among radiolarians within the super-group Rhizaria. Acantharia have a complex cellular organisation (e.g. presence of myonemes and axopods) and exhibit an internal skeleton made of strontium sulfate (celestite), enriched in barium and composed of spicules …

As they are also uncultured, relatively little is known about acantharian biology, especially regarding their life cycles. Here, we take a paired approach, bringing together high-throughput, in situ imaging and metabarcode sequencing, to investigate acantharian abundance, vertical distribution, and life history in the western North Pacific.
Evidence suggests that, at high latitudes, rapid, deep sedimentation of acantharian cysts recurs each spring. The cysts sink to depth to release gametes and then die.
Deep sedimentation of acantharian cysts — a reproductive strategy? ... Cysts were found in sediment trap samples recovered from a depth of 2000 metres in the Iceland Basin, a deep region of the Atlantic Ocean south of Iceland. The traps were deployed in 2006 from the Royal Research Ship Discovery to collect sinking organic-rich particles.

[3,21,25]. However, a particularly large type of acantharian cyst was recently found in sediment traps from 2000 m in the Iceland Basin, contributing up to 48% of POC flux during a 2-week sampling interval [4]. It was hypothesized that deep sedimentation of cysts might be limited to high latitudes and exhibit a seasonal
