Zooplankton community within the Titanic Polygon, Northwest Atlantic, summer 2003

In summer 2003 we continued our long-term series of observations over the zooplankton community within the Titanic Polygon (area of the frontal zone of Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current) in the North Atlantic, where interaction of ecosystems of subpolar and warm waters takes place. Depending on h...

Description
Summary:In summer 2003 we continued our long-term series of observations over the zooplankton community within the Titanic Polygon (area of the frontal zone of Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current) in the North Atlantic, where interaction of ecosystems of subpolar and warm waters takes place. Depending on hydrological situation occurring in the frontal zone interrelated interannual variations in abundance and biomass of plankton species including Calanus hyperboreus and mesopelagic shrimps of Acanthephyra genus were observed. In different years contribution of two parallel trophic nets passing primarily through the larger and smaller plankters to formation of the community varied. Data on the size structure of population of macroplankton shrimps are presented.
