13 pages, 6 figures, 5 tables Surface distribution (0–100 m) of zooplankton biomass and specific aminoacyltRNA synthetases (AARS) activity, as a proxy of structural growth, were assessed during winter 2002 and spring 2004 in the Labrador Sea. Two fronts formed by strong boundary currents, several an...
