Arctic boreal plankton species in the Northwest Atlantic
The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) survey has sampled regularly in the Northwest Atlantic since the early 1960s. Over the last decade there has been a dramatic increase in the abundance of a number of arctic boreal plankton species, notably Calanus hyperboreus (Krøyer), Calanus glacialis (Jaschn...
