| Abstract | : | Larvaceans are gelatinous zooplankton abundant throughout the ocean. Larvaceans have been overlooked in research because they are difficult to col-lect and are perceived as being unimportant in biogeochemical cycles and food-webs. We synthesise evidence that their unique biology enables larvaceans to transfer more carbon to higher trophic levels and deeper into the ocean than is commonly appreciated. Larvaceans could become even more important in the Anthropocene because they eat small phytoplankton that are predicted to be -come more prevalent under climate change, thus moderating projected future declines in ocean productivity and fisheries. We identify critical knowledge gaps and argue that larvaceans should be incorporated into ecosystem assess-ments and biogeochemical models to improve predictions of the future ocean. |
