Zooplankton abundance and community structure over a 4000 km transect in the North-east Atlantic
Zooplankton samples were collected by a high speed sampler, the U-Tow, in the north-east Atlantic between 61.6 and 36.7°N during June and July 1996, and were used to examine the causality of spatial distributions along a 4000 km transect. Peak zooplankton abundance and biovolume estimations were ass...
