Acknowledgments
We gratefully acknowledge the teclmical assistance
of Captain Bruns and his crew. We would like to
thank G. Fischer, G. Wefer, D. Kroon and J.G.
Brummer for the review of earlier versions of the
manuscript. We are grateful to W. Hale for the
improvement of the English. M. Segl and N.
Scheele we thank for the stable isotope measurements. The work was funded by the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft within the scope of the
Sonderforschungsbereich 261 at the University
of Bremen. This is contribution no. 191 of
Sonderforschungsbereich 261 at Bremen University and Alfred- Wegener Institut contribution no.
