Excerpt from Seasonal and Areal Distribution of Zooplankton in Coastal Waters of the Gulf of Maine, 1965 and 1966A description is given of the abundance, composition, and seasonal variations in distribution of zooplankton. Eleven major taxa were represented in the samples. Six were holoplanktonic, and five were meroplanktonic. Copepods were the dominant zooplankters during all seasons in both years. Zooplankton volumes in both years followed similar areal trends. Mean annual volumes were highest in the western area (cape Arm to Cape Elizabeth), moderate in the central area (cape Elizabeth to Mt. Desert Island), and low in the eastern sector (mt. Desert Island to Machias Bay). Zooplankton volumes were generally lower in 1966 than in 1965. Areal and annual variations in the abundance of zooplankters are discussed in relation to hydrography.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
