Many strange faecal pellets crowd the Antarctic sea water. A bio-mathematical approach to explain the mystery

A mathematical model has been developed to explain a widespread phenomenon (i.e. the presence in large quantities of oval faecal pellets of unknown origin) in the Antarctic Sea. The model is based on a partial differential equation whose solution is achieved by the finite difference method. The numerical stability of the algorithm is also incorporated. An efficient and reproducible process of development of a bio-mathematical modelling technique is evident besides the ecological results derived.
