Description: A vertical flux pulse related to spring phytoplankton development was recorded ·by moored sediment traps at 42°N 06°E in the Gulf of Lions. May 1990 trap samples from 200m to 2000m depth were comprised of freshly produced organic matter and selected microplankton species from the overlaying water column. This vertical flux event was transmitted to the deep sea floor with a high particle sinking velocity of 〉140 m day-1. Maximal vertical fluxes of 35 mg C m-2 day-1 and 1.2 mg chl.a m-2 day-1 recorded during this event are low compared to the exports from collapsing spring blooms at higher latitudes but demonstrate that particle production and degradation within the spring pelagic system were not in balance.
