ENVIRONMENTAL-INFLUENCES ON SPATIOTEMPORAL OCEANIC DISTRIBUTION OF ICHTHYOPLANKTON AROUND THE KERGUELEN ISLANDS (SOUTHERN-OCEAN)

International audience Ichthyoplankton of the oceanic zone surrounding the Kerguelen Islands (northern part of the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean) was studied. The results concerning both abundance and spatial distribution of fish eggs and larvae are discussed. Samples were collected during joi...

Description
Summary:International audience Ichthyoplankton of the oceanic zone surrounding the Kerguelen Islands (northern part of the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean) was studied. The results concerning both abundance and spatial distribution of fish eggs and larvae are discussed. Samples were collected during joint French-Soviet oceanographic cruises in summer, autumn and winter 1987 and summer 1988. The presence of the Antarctic Polar Front allowed us to show latitudinal distribution of the ichthyoplankton. Topography played an important role in separating mesopelagic and demersal species.
