Zooplankton Volumes Off The Pacific Coast 1955

Basic data on volumes of zooplankton off the Pacific coast in 1958 are given, together with haul data for all plankton hauls taken on survey cruises of the California Cooperative Fisheries Investigations. Plankton volumes over the entire survey area averaged less than one-third as much as during 1951-56. Distribution charts showing relative areal zooplankton abundance by month are included.

Basic data on volumes of zooplankton off the Pacific coast in 1957 are given, together with haul data for all plankton hauls taken on survey cruises of the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations. Plankton volumes were larger during February through April than the six-year average for these months, and progressively smaller during May through July than the six-year average. Distribution charts showing relative areal zooplankton abundance by month are included.
