  abstract = {{P}article-size classes (7 fractions from 0.8 to 2000 mu m) were collected in the deep chlorophyll maximum along a {M}editerranean transect including the northern coastal zone (bays of {T}oulon and {M}arseilles, {F}rance), the offshore zone (near the {N}orth {B}alearic {T}hermal {F}ront), and the southern coastal zone ({G}ulf of {G}abe`s, {T}unisia). {C}on-centrations of biotic metals and metalloids ({A}s, {C}d, {C}r, {C}u, {F}e, {M}n, {N}i, {S}b, {V}, {Z}n) bound to living or dead or-ganisms and faecal pellets were assessed by phosphorus normalisation. {B}iotic metals and metalloids concentrations (except {C}r, {M}n, and {V}) were higher in the offshore zone than in the coastal zones. {I}n addition, biotic {S}b and {V} concentrations appeared to be affected by atmospheric deposition, and biotic {C}r concentrations appeared to be affected by local anthropogenic inputs. {E}ssential elements ({C}d, {C}u, {F}e, {M}n, {N}i, {V}, {Z}n) were very likely controlled both by the metabolic activity of certain organisms (nanoeukaryotes, copepods) and trophic structure. {I}n the northern coastal zone, biomagnification of essential elements was controlled by copepods ac-tivities. {I}n the offshore zone, metals and metalloids were not biomagnified probably due to homeostasis regu-latory processes in organisms. {I}n the southern coastal zone, biomagnification of {A}s, {C}u, {C}r, {S}b could probably induce specific effects within the planktonic network.},
