Zooplankton abundance increasing during the Tagoro submarine volcano post-eruptive process at El Hierro (Canary Islands, Subtropical North Atlantic Ocean)
The biomass, abundance and diversity of the mesozooplankton community was analyzed during the Tagoro submarine volcano post-eruptive process at El Hierro (27º37’07’’N; 17º59’28’’W, Canary's, World Biosphere Reserve, 2000). Our objective was to establish: 1) a baseline for future research and 2)...
