Spatio-temporal patterns in the Diel Vertical Migration of the Copepod Metridia lucens in the Northeast Atlantic derived from the Continuous Plankton Recorder Survey
The archived data set collected over a 45-yr period (1948-1992) by Continuous Plankton Recorders (CPRs) towed in near-surface waters was used to investigate the diel vertical migration of the copepod Metridia lucens in the northeast Atlantic (47-63?N and 10-30?W). Although the CPR sampling intensity...
