Summer coastal zooplankton biomass and copepod community structure near the Italian Terra Nova base (Terra Nova Bay, Ross Sea, Antarctica)
The structure of the zooplankton biotic community and of copepod population in the coastal area of Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Antarctica) was investigated during the 10th Italian Antarctic Expedition (1994/1995). Zooplankton biotic community consisted mainly of pteropods (Limacina helicina and Clione...
