Fish faecal pellets and eggs data collected using a sediment trap deployed in 1998 in Terra Nova Bay, Ross Sea, Antarctica
Faecal pellets and eggs of Antarctic silverfish have been collected over the seasons using a sediment trap deployed on 1998 in Terra Nova Bay, Ross Sea, Antarctica in the frame of the National Italian Antarctic Research project (PNRA). Antarctic silverfish (ASF) accounts for over 90% of the local fish communities in the Southern Ocean costal area. Samples have been investigated in order to quantify the contribution of fish faecal pellets and eggs to the export of carbon.

CHN analyser was calibrated using an acetanilide calibration standard with a
known % C and % N of 71.09 % and 10.36 % respectively. Standards were interspersed regularly between samples to measure and correct for drift. Analytical precision was better than 1.0 % for POC.
