Several general features of the deep-sea ecosystem can be summarized as: (1) the deep sea is a geochemical sink, (2) biomass declines rapidly with depth below 1000 m, and (3) species richness increases to a maximum at about 1000 m depth for pelagic species. Our knowledge of deep-sea plankton and micronekton is, however, still patchy and insufficient. In concern with the feasibility of CO2 disposal in the deep sea, at present, prior to any categorical decisions being made, more de tailed research is needed on the potential effects of lowered pH and raised partial pressure of CO2 over the entire life of zooplankton and micronekton under realistic hydrostatic pressures. Considering the possibility of CO2 discharge and of CO2 re trieval if necessary, confined release of CO2 in restricted depression of the seafloor at depths greater than 3000 m will be better than dispersion in midwater.
