Description:

Abstract:

Studies of distribution and abundance of zooplankton were performed in a) Amundsen basin (89-88oN drift) and b) Nansen basin (four stations in the MIZ and two stations in the open water). In Amundsen basin, stratified (200-100m, 100-50m, 50-0m) and graduated (200-0m, 100-0m, 50-0m) tows were done with a WP-2 net (0.5 m2 mouth area, 180 µm mesh) in August 2001. In Nansen basin, 100-0m vertical tows were done with a WP-2 net (0.5 m2 mouth area, 180 µm mesh) in July 2001 The ship was Swedish icebreaker Oden. Geo-referencing of stations was done with a GPS in latitude/longitude using 4 decimals. In both basins Calanus glacialis and C. hyperboreus dominated zooplankton biomass.

Purpose:

To study composition and distribution of zooplankton in the Arctic Ocean.

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The animals counts were done according to convention or SIO, RAS; (contact authors for exact details): sorting under a stereo microscope after preservations. Geographical positions taken from ship log before deploying the net.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

The same procedures were used at all sites and for all species; findings should be consistent.

Completeness_Report:

Mesh size used: 180 µm. Sampled layers in Amundsen basin: 200-100m, 100-50m, 50-0m (St. 5/1-5/2) and 200-0m, 100-0m, 50-0m (St. 5/3, 5/4, 5/5). In Nansen basin: 100-0m. Abundance computed for each taxon per cubic meter as a number of specimens in sample divided by volume of filtered water (estimated by multiplying the net mouth area by tow extension).

Methodology_Type: Field and Lab

Methodology_Description:

Zooplankton was collected with 180 µm mesh WP-2 net at five stations during the drift in Amundsen basin in August 2001, and at six stations in Nansen basin in July 2001. Zooplankton samples were preserved in buffered formaldehyde seawater solution (4% final concentration). Preserved samples were sorted and identified to the lowest taxon possible under stereo microscopes in the lab.
