Zooplankton Community Changes
Data
84 cruises carried out during the period 1953-1958. 1630 stations were occupied and 7137 samples were collected.
Characteristics
Temperature anomaly, biomass, abundance, biodiversity.
Conclusion
The period 1953-1955 is characterized by more favorable conditions for zooplankton development compared to the period 1956-1958. One of the possible reasons for this phenomenon comes from positive temperature anomalies in period 1953-1955.
