Abstract
The water column deficiencies of (super 234)Th were used to estimate the particulate organic carbon (POC) fluxes in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean. The results show that the low POC fluxes were related to the low predominance of diatoms, characteristic at the end of a bloom period and the very low POC export observed in the Subtropical Zone suggests an efficient remineralization process and high bacterial activity.
