Ecological investigations on the zooplankton community of Balsfjorden, Northern Norway : changes in zooplankton abundance and biomass in relation to phytoplankton and hydrography, March 1976 - February 1977
The population density and standing stock (wet-, dry-, and organic biomass) of copepods, euphausiids, chaetognaths, and total zooplankton were studied from March 1976 to February 1977. Seasonal changes in population density and standing stock were examined with regard to hydrography and phytoplankto...

| Summary: | The population density and standing stock (wet-, dry-, and organic biomass) of copepods, euphausiids, chaetognaths, and total zooplankton were studied from March 1976 to February 1977. Seasonal changes in population density and standing stock were examined with regard to hydrography and phytoplankton standing crop (chlorophyll a) and primary production (14C). The data have been further analysed with respect to the trophic position of the component zooplankters and to the production cycle in Norwegian arctic fjords. |
