Description:

Marine ecosystems play a critical role in the global carbon cycle through food web regulation of air‐sea carbon fluxes and the transfer of organic carbon from the upper oceans to the deep sea. The carcasses of gelatinous zooplankton (GZ), which include jellyfish and salps, have been found in mass seafloor depositions (“jelly‐falls”) in many locations. These jelly‐falls are thought to be a fast mechanism for carbon sequestration, yet no global studies on their overall impact have been done. Using a database of GZ observations, we suggest that the inclusion of previously unaccounted for GZ carbon in seafloor carbon deposition could increase current estimates by 8–35%. This previously unconsidered flux represents a substantial amount of carbon sequestered in the deep sea.
