Spatio‐temporal patterns in the diel vertical migration of the copepod Metridia lucens in the northeast Atlantic derived from the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey
The archived data set collected over a 45‐yr period (1948–1992) by Continuous Plankton Recorders (CPRs) towed in near‐surface waters was used to investigate the diel vertical migration of the copepod Metridia lucens in the northeast Atlantic (47–63°N and 10–30°W). Although the CPR sampling intensity...
