Ontogenetic and seasonal variation in the Diel Vertical Migration of the Copepods Metridia lucens and Metridia longa
Plankton samples collected and analyzed by the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey were used to examine the length of time spent near the surface in the North Atlantic and the North Sea by three closely related groups of zooplankton (copepodite stages 1-4 Metridia spp., copepodite stages 5-6 Metridi...
