Population demographics and growth rate of Salpa thompsoni on the Kerguelen Plateau
This study aimed to obtain the first estimates of S. thompsoni population dynamics and growth rates over the Kerguelen Plateau (Southern Indian Ocean). Micronekton, including salps, were repeatedly sampled during late summer to early autumn (26th February – 15th March 2018) at contrasting hydrologic...

This study aimed to obtain the first estimates of S. thompsoni population dynamics and growth rates over the Kerguelen Plateau (Southern Indian Ocean).

At two stations, S. thompsoni made up almost half of the micronekton biomass. Environmental conditions were important in determining the density and development of S. thompsoni populations.
