Short-term changes in vertical distributions of copepods during the spring phytoplankton bloom were analyzed based on day and night vertically stratified sampling (9 strata between 0-1000 m) with a fine-mesh (60 μm) VMPS in the Oyashio region on five occasions: 8 March, 5, 11, 23 and 29 April 2007....
