The Zaire deep-sea fan (South-East Atlantic) is one of the world's largest active fans. It is fed by a unique canyon extending across the West Equatorial African margin, creating a direct connection between the Zaire River estuary and the abyssal plains. The canyon drives a substantial amount of terrigenous sediment down to the deep sea, mainly via turbidity currents. The initial goal of the French BIOZAIRE project initiated by IFREMER is to study the benthic ecosystem in relation to the organic matter inputs, which quantity and quality may influence its development.Sediment traps and surface sediments collected along the Zaire River submarine canyon and adjacent area were investigated for n-alcohol biomarkers to identify the sources of org...
