Sink or break: Oil increases resistance of phytoplankton aggregates to fragmentation

Abstract Fragmentation of marine snow affects the downward flux of organic matter, and other aggregate‐associated compounds such as oil. Using phytoplankton aggregates, we demonstrate that marine snow with oil, termed marine oil snow, had a higher resistance to fragmentation compared to marine snow...
