Fieldwork was carried out at Kerguelen Islands. Two groups of stations in a coastal area, the Morbihan gulf, were surveyed. At both stations, macroplankton biomass ranged from 2.3 mg dry weight m(-3) to 89 mg dry weight m(-3) and consisted mostly of Themisto gaudichaudii with values ranging from 1.9...
