Conclusions
1.With the exception of Calanus finmarchicus, all the
dominant winter- spring copepods
exhibited large interannual differences in abundance on Georges Bank.
2.Patterns of abundance (high-low) tended to be similar
through each year.
3.The different dominant taxa tended to show the same
patterns between years. 1995 and 1996
were years of low abundance, 1999 a year of high abundance, 1998 a little less so and 1997 intermediate.
