The common brown shrimp, Crangon crangon , plays a vital role in the coastal North Sea ecosystems, contributing significantly to the trophic dynamics. This small but highly abundant crustacean is also of economic importance, forming the basis of an approximately 400 vessel strong fishery. Specimens of the common brown shrimp, C. crangon , were deprived of food and subsequently re-fed under controlled conditions (17 ± 1.7 °C, a...

Permeable sediments, which represent more than 50% of the continental shelves, have been largely neglected as a potential source of Fe in current global estimates of benthic dissolved iron (Fe d ) fluxes. There are open questions regarding the effects of a range of factors on Fe d fluxes from these deposits, including seasonal dynamics and the role of bioirrigation. To address these gaps, we performed laboratory-based sediment...
