Status of food zooplankton in the feeding period of capelin from the central latitudinal zone of the Barents Sea in cold and warm years

The impact of environmental conditions on the period of development and formation of plankton biomass in August during the cold and warmer-than-usual years is discussed. Predation is shown to dominate over abiotic effects in influencing the distribution o f copepods during the years of high capelin...

Description
Summary:The impact of environmental conditions on the period of development and formation of plankton biomass in August during the cold and warmer-than-usual years is discussed. Predation is shown to dominate over abiotic effects in influencing the distribution o f copepods during the years of high capelin abundance.
