The effect of the 1997-1998 ENSO on the benthic macrofaunal biomass in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico

Long term macrofaunal biomass measurements made since 1987 were used to evaluate the effect of episodic inputs of biogenic carbon during ENSO on the shelf and slope benthos in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. This study was based on the hypothesis that wind- induced mixing over long periods on the s...
