**
Innovative pape on how aquatic molluscs function as part of biomachinery and mechanism to transfer chemical elements through aquatic ecosystem. The first paper in which the quantitative measurements were reported on how much of the chemical elements are being transferred through ecosystem in the form of pellets.

First measurements, first publication: New quantitative data on how aquatic mollusks drive fluxes of the chemical elements.
