Abstract:
Zooplankton was sampled at 10 stations in the Canada Basin during August 2002 using both 53 and 236 µm mesh nets to examine the contribution by smaller and less studied species. The resulting database consists of 1164 rows and 30 species. Copepod nauplii, the copepods Oithona similis, Oncaea borealis and Microcalanus pygmaeus, and the larvacean Fritillaria borealis typica dominated the upper 100 m of the water column numerically, while biomass was dominated by the copepods Calanus hyperboreus, Calanus glacialis and Paraeuchaeta glacialis, and the chaetognath Eukrohnia hamata. Zooplankton biomass ranged from 3.7-14.5 mg AFDW m-3, with a mean of 9.6 mg AFDW m-3. While the three micro-copepods contributed less than 5% of the biomass, estimates of their potential growth rates suggest they might contribute upwards of 25% of the metazoan zooplankton production. The true rates of growth and development of these micro-copepods in the Arctic need to be determined to conclusively ascertain their importance.
Purpose:
To assess the species composition, abundance, distribution and biomass of zooplankton across locations of the Canadian Basin.

Methodology_Type: Field and Lab
Methodology_Description:
Zooplankton samples were collected from August 21 to September 5, 2003, by vertical hauls to 100 m depth of 2 separate sets of Bongo nets. Collections were made at a total of 10 stations, with sampling generally executed in ice-free zones to simply deployment. The larger Bongo set consisted of 60 cm diameter black MARMAP style nets of 236 µm mesh. The smaller set consisted of 22 cm diameter nets designed with 1 m cylinder followed by a 1.6 m conical section, with one Bongo being of 150 µm mesh and the other of 53 µm mesh. One of the larger nets was fitted with a Karl uni-directional flow meter. Both nets in the smaller Bongo were fitted with GO flow-meters mounted such that the net immobilized the rotor during decent. Upon retrieval, contents were preserved in 10% formalin. Preserved samples were processed for quantitative determination of species composition using a combination of Folsom and Beaker splits. A maximum of 100 animals per species were identified and measured using a computer assisted measuring system, with increasingly larger subsamples examined for the rarer taxa. For the copepods, developmental stages, and sex of the adults was also noted, except for Oncaea, where staging of the sub-adults proved problematic. It is likely that for some congeneric species where earlier copepodites cannot be distinguished that they have been incorrectly grouped with the sibling species for which adults were identified. In the case of Calanus, the 2 species were distinguished largely by differences in prosome length. The weight of each individual was predicted from species-specific relationships, or from those of a morphologically similar species. Data for smaller-bodied taxa was taken entirely from the 53 µm mesh nets, while data for larger-bodied taxa were taken from the 236 µm net because it filtered larger volumes and hence yielded better estimates of abundances.
