P.48 left column 2nd paragraph: "With the body mass of pelagic organisms extending over 20 orders of magnitude, and predators typically four orders of magnitude larger than their prey (BNID 113592), some 80 per cent of modern
marine biomass is likely to be eumetazoan [not including
heterotrophic ⁄ chemoautotrophic prokaryotes (see Whitman et al. 1998), but also not including the considerable
biomass of benthic metazoans, which also exhibit an essentially flat biomass spectrum (Schwinghamer 1983, Kerr and Dickie 2001)]." |
