The influence of environmental factors on the horizontal community structure of zooplankton over the southern Kerguelen Plateau was investigated during summer in 2016. Zooplankton abundance ranged from 1490 to 363,484 ind. 1000 m -3 , with highest numbers observed in the eastern and central areas. B...
