Mesozooplankton assemblages in two bays in the Beagle Channel (Argentina) during January, 2001
This paper describes the composition and abundance of mesozooplankton of Bahía Ushuaia and Bahía Golondrina. These small bays are located in the northern Beagle Channel. Sampling was carried out during January 20 - 23, 2001 and samples were collected from the upper layer at nine stations. This study...
