Methods

Single zooplankton hauls were taken using aconical-cylindrical plankton net with a 30-cm mouthopening and a 200?m mesh size fitted with amechanical flow meter to estimate the amount of waterfiltered. Sub-surface towswere obtained with the boat at approximately 1 knotduring a five-minute period. Samples were preservedin aqueous solution of formaldehyde 5% bufferedwith sodium tetra-borate.
