A related topic published in today's New York Times<br> A study by Cal Tech doctoral student Kakani Katija and adviser, Dr. Dabiri, determined that "fluid drift" caused by movement of fish and other organisms as small as zooplankton, contribute mightily to ocean mixing. "These researchers estimated that globally, the ocean mixing contributed through this drift effect by small marine creatures was roughly equal to that contributed by winds and tides". They say this is a "conservative" estimate! Could it be that Krill actually mixes are Santa Barbara Channel up more than the huge Humpbacks and Blue whales feeding on them?<br>( video at nytimes.com). Study reported in Nature journal.
