Two dominant Antarctic copepod species, Rhincalanus gigas and Calanus simillimus, were sampled at stations along a 420 km transect running from Maurice Ewing Bank (50°S, 42°W) towards South Georgia (54°S, 37.5°W) during early January 1994 and again 1 mo later. The transect spanned the Polar Frontal...
