Description
Summary:No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Every other year, the Working Group on Zooplankton Ecology (WGZE) produces a summary report on the status of zooplankton populations in the ICES area based on time-series obtained from national monitoring programs. Since its first report in 2000, this WGZE summary hasbeen expanded to include over 32 monitoring sites, ranging from fixed stations to standard surveys and transects, each from 10 to 40+ years in length. These sites are distributed on the continental margins of both North America and Europe and cover an area from the temperate latitudes south of Portugal to the colder regions north of Norway, Iceland, and Canada. Data from several fixed CPR routes that cover coastal and oceanic waters in the North Atlantic are also included, as well as co-sampled phytoplankton and temperature data (when available). WGZE also maintains an online interactive map (http://WGZE.net) which summarizes the zooplankton monitoring sites and provides figures, ...
