During the squid fishing ground investigation off Argentina in three successive years, 1987-1989, zooplankton were collected at 99 stations with three different plankton nets from the epipelagic zone above 200 m. Based on the surface water temperature and depth of the sea, the investigated areas were divided into three areas: the continental shelf, and offshore warm and cold water masses. A total of 74 species of copepods belonging to 36 genera and 20 families were identified. Several species occurred in only one of the three surface water masses.
