Biomineralization

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]

Zones of Sedimentation Basin

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 ...


Lesson 5: Sedimentation

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 ...

Deep sedimentation of acantharian cysts

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. ... 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

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.
