Abstract:
Small zooplankton which may be available for larval fish feeding
were sampled during 5 cruises to the Georges Bank region using a
pumping system attached to the CTD unit for depth control. Individual
samples were filtered through 40 um mesh prior to sorting. Sample
volume was measured to the nearest 0.1 liter (+/-1%) with an in-line
flow
... sensor. Samples were taken at fixed nominal depths of 70, 50,
40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, and 2 m.
Zooplankton samples were sorted/counted by taxa and life stages
(Copepodite and Nauplius). Within each of the major life stages,
the taxa were further sorted into six developmental stages.
Copepodite stage 6 was further sorted by gender.
