Fig. 2
Impact of growing salp densities [individuals per 1000 m3] on the chlorophyll-a concentration of the modeled domain throughout 2 weeks of a simulation run in the PEKRIS model. Each panel displays the modeled domain within PEKRIS consisting of 51 × 51 cells of 16 cubic meters for different days throughout one simulated season. Chlorophyll-a reduction is shown as a color gradient from green (theoretical maximum of chlorophyll-a concentration at the given time of year) to black (minimum chlorophyll-a concentration recorded during the simulation run)
