Summary

Abstract: The Beaufort Sea, north of the North Slope Oil Field in Alaska, is an area in which the likelihood of future oil pollution is great. As an attempt to assess the effects of this pollution upon the marine environment, the United States Coast Guard Oceanographic Unit sampled an area from 143 30 to 154 30 west longitude between 70 and 72 north Latitude, in the Western Beaufort Sea, from August to mid ...

Purpose: To assess species composition and abundance of zooplankton within the Beaufort Sea, August and September, 1971
