Summer mesozooplankton community of Moller Bay (Novaya Zemlya Archipelago, Barents Sea)
Novaya Zemlya Archipelago is the eastern boundary of the Barents Sea. Theplankton of this region have been less intensively studied than thoseof other Arctic areas. This study of the mesozooplankton assemblage of Moller Bay was conducted in August2010. The total mesozooplankton abundance and biomass...
