Summary
Estimates of bacterial production suggest that they may contribute up to 40% of total picoplankton production and about 25% oftotal microplanktonProduction, and are therefore potentially a major food resource for benthic filter-feeders, especially for those mainly dependent on the smaller components of the plankton.
