  abstract = {{W}e report the distribution of cadmium at 13 stations along 5.83 degrees {S} in the {A}ngola {B}asin. {T}he studied area (which is influenced by the plume of the {C}ongo {R}iver, doming, and relatively high primary production) is characterized by relatively low-circulation regime, which results in a strong oxygen minimum. {I}n subsurface, very low cadmium : phosphate ({C}d : {P}) ratios (0.05-0.10 nmol {L}-1 : mu mol {L}-1) were observed below the euphotic zone (depth range = 50-200 m), indicating that mineralization is the main process explaining the {C}d-{P} fractionation. {C}d-{P} decoupling is not restricted to subsurface waters, but occurs also throughout the oxygen minimum zone. {A}n isopycnal analysis of the {C}d : {P} ratio throughout the {A}tlantic {O}cean shows that upper and intermediate waters in the {S}outh-east {A}tlantic are highly altered in terms of {C}d-{P} properties. {B}enthic inputs at 4000 m were associated with degradation of organic matter with an important siliceous component, but were not accompanied by substantial changes in the {C}d : {P} ratio.},
