Summary
Abstract: Zooplankton was sampled at 10 stations in the Canada Basin during August 2002 using both 53 and 236 µm mesh nets to examine the contribution by smaller and less studied species. The resulting database consists of 1164 rows and 30 species. Copepod nauplii, the copepods Oithona similis, Oncaea borealis and Microcalanus pygmaeus, and the larvacean Fritillaria borealis typica dominated the upper 100 m ... View entire text

Purpose: To assess the species composition, abundance, distribution and biomass of zooplankton across locations of the Canadian Basin.
