Metazoan Zooplankton of the Southern Ocean

Provides a guide to major taxonomic level, after which more detailed guides can be used for determining species. Only adult, macroscopic, holoplanktonic, metazoan animals are dealt with in this guide. Only groups found in the Southern Ocean are considered in detail. Within these conditions, the data...

Description
Summary:Provides a guide to major taxonomic level, after which more detailed guides can be used for determining species. Only adult, macroscopic, holoplanktonic, metazoan animals are dealt with in this guide. Only groups found in the Southern Ocean are considered in detail. Within these conditions, the dataset is complete. This dataset provides a guide for identifying organisms and classifying them into the major taxonomic categories. Characteristics of a number of zooplankton groups are detailed. Illustrations of typical animals are also given. The information presented in temporal and spatial coverage is approximate only. This dataset is a document describing the Metazoan Zooplankton of the Southern Ocean. It lists all the known species and with illustrated diagrams provides a guide to their taxonomic identification. The document is available for download as a pdf from the provided URL.
