Dependence of the Stable Carbon Isotope of Planktic Foraminiferal Species <i>Globigerina Bulloides</i> on Food Supply in the Indian Ocean Sector of Southern Ocean
Abstract:Abstract. Twenty one surface sediment samples (comprising Peterson Grab, Piston, Gravity and Spade core top samples) were collected along a north-south transect (between 9.69°N and 55.01°S latitude and 80°E and 40°E longitude). These samples were used to study δ 13 C values in the calcareous shells of planktic foraminiferal species Globigerina bulloides and the variations were compared with the latitudinal changes in the overall size of the planktic foraminiferal population obtained from earlier published data… Show more
