Methods

At each sampling date. a closing type net (60 cmmouth diameter. 0.10 mm mesh size. Kawamura 1989)was hauled vertically at a speed of 1.0 m s^-1 from fivediscrete layers between 0 and 2.000 m in the water column(Table 1). The volume of water filtered was estimatedby the reading of a flow meter (Rhigosha)mounted inside the mouth of the net. The depths the netreached were read by using a RMD depth meter (Rhigosha).which was attached to the suspension cable ofthe net. After collection. samples were preserved immediatelyon board ship in a 2% formaldehyde?seawatersolution buffered with borax. Vertical profiles of temperatureand salinity were determined simultaneously byusing a CTD system (Neil Brown Mark III. GeneralOceanics) at each zooplankton sampling date. Unit of abundance = IndCountInt, Unit of biomass = NA
