Seasonal changes in the zooplankton swimmer (those actively swimming into sediment traps) and faecal pellet contribution to particulate organic carbon (POC) were analysed based on sediment trap samples deployed at 450 m in the polynya region of Prydz Bay during March 2013–February 2014. The zooplankton swimmer flux ranged from 6.18 ind m−2day−1to 20.00 ind m−2day−1and pteropods (mainlyLimacina helicina) were the most abundant group. Part of theL. helicinapopulation could make a large contribution to the organic carbon flux by passive sinking after death during the austral autumn and winter. The potential contribution of sinkingL. helicinato the POC flux could reach 15.21% during winter. Four types of faecal pellets were found: cylindrical, round, ellipsoidal and ovoid. The faecal pellet carbon flux (0.01–4.36 mg C m−2day−1) contributed 5.54%–62.00% of the POC flux. Cylindrical faecal pellets, which had low abundance in winter but higher abundance in the early austral summer, were attributed to the ice krillEuphausiacrystallorophias. The faecal pellet carbon flux showed a high value (1.03 mg C m−2day−1) but made little contribution (9.18%) to the POC flux during early summer (December) in relation to the large amount of ungrazed algae. The high faecal pellet carbon flux (1.98 mg C m−2day−1) during mid-summer (January) made the greatest contribution (62.00%) to the POC flux. During autumn and winter, the faecal pellet carbon flux was low and ovoid pellets (mostly generated byL. helicina) were the most abundant. The occurrence of intact fresh pellets and faecal fluff (degraded faecal pellets) in the winter samples suggested that zooplankton activities (diel vertical migration and fragmentation of faecal pellets) had an effect on the carbon flux. The results demonstrated that zooplankton could play an important role in the carbon flux in the polynya region of Prydz Bay.
