Excerpt from Seasonal and Areal Distribution of Zooplankton in Coastal Waters of the Gulf of Maine, 1964A description is given of the composition and seasonal variations of zooplankton in coastal waters of the Gulf of Maine during 1964, and comparisons are made between 1963 and 1964. Twelve zooplankton groups (major taxa) were represented in the samples. Five occurred as holoplanktonic forms and seven were mero planktonic. Copepods were the dominant zooplankters during all seasons. Zoo plankton volumes for both years followed similar areal trends. Mean annual volumes were highest in the western area (cape Ann, Mass., to Cape Elizabeth, Maine), moderate in the central area (cape Elizabeth to Mt. Desert Island, Maine), and low in the eastern sector (mt. Desert Island to Machias Bay, Maine). Zooplankton volumes were generally lower in 1964 than in 1963. Seasonal and annual variations in abundance of zooplankters are discussed in relation to hydrography. Local hydrography appears to influence the abundance and distribution of coastal zoo plankters more directly then does the cyclonic-eddy system of the Gulf proper.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
