Die raumliche Verteilung von Calanus finmarchicus, C. glacialis und C. hyperboreus in Relation zu der Hydrographie und dem Nahrungsangebot
Zooplankton reacts very sensitive on hydrographical changes which can be caused through climate change. Due to their sheer abundance, zooplankton communities are critical to the functioning of ocean food webs. The three Calanus- species Calanus finmarchicus (Gunnerus, 1765), C. glacialis (Jaschnov,...
