The abundance of mesozooplankton was low during winter, when animals were mostly confined to the colder (∼0°C) and deeper (∼200–1000 m) layers, and peaked during late summer (∼11–18 g dry weight m−2, ∼300 000–400 000 ind. m−2), when animals resided mainly above the 50–100-m depth range.

Three main mesozooplankton communities were identified: (i) an Atlantic community in the east, with Calanus finmarchicus and Pseudocalanus spp. most abundant, (ii) an Arctic community at high latitudes, with large numbers of C. hyperboreus and C. glacialis , and (iii) a community with coastal affinities at lower latitudes, with large numbers of Temora longicornis and Acartia spp. Longitude and Chl a explained ∼43% of macrozooplankton variability (euphausiids and amphipods). Results show that the region is a meeting place of Arctic and Atlantic species, with the copepods C. finmarchicus and C. hyperboreus , the amphipod Themisto abyssorum , and the euphausiid Thysanoessa longicaudata the key players.
