  abstract = {{D}iel vertical migration ({DVM}) of zooplankton has been recognized to influence the biological pump by releasing carbon and nutrients at depth. {H}owever, uncertainties regarding the magnitude, spatial occurrence, and variability of this "active transport," as well as its impact on the carbon export, remain. {T}o tackle these questions, a cost-effective parameterization of the {DVM} is included into a regional biogeochemical model simulating the {N}orth {A}tlantic. {I}n addition to a reference simulation in which no {DVM} is simulated, two relative biomasses of migrating zooplankton (30% and 60%) have been tested. {I}t leads to an active to passive export ratio in agreement with published estimations and to an increase in the carbon export efficiency at 1,000 m between 20% and 40%. {H}owever, this effect is partially canceled out by a simulated primary production decrease. {DVM} differently impacts contrasted {N}orth {A}tlantic regions with the largest effect on export efficiency found in the subtropical area.},
