Zooplankton from the Arctic Ocean and Adjacent Canadian Waters
Zooplankton collections from the Arctic Ocean, the Beaufort Sea, and northwestern Canadian coastal waters are described, along with physical characteristics of the waters sampled. About 50 species are included.The collections are compared with records from the central Arctic Ocean and other waters a...
