Krill abundance, vertical and horizontal distribution (MOCNESS
system), April-June 2001-02, continental margin west of Antarctic
Peninsula, GLOBEC.
Using a Multiple Opening and Closing Nets and Environmental
Sensing System (MOCNESS), zooplankton samples were collected at selected
depth intervals in the water column. Samples from each net were screened
for euphausiids. All euphausiids in the subset were identified to
species, life history stage, and measured for length to the nearest 0.5
mm for larvae and to the nearest 1.0 mm for juvenile and adults. Thus
krill abundance, distribution, and population structures can be mapped in
both the vertical and horizontal planes. Sampling was conducted in
April-June 2001 and 2002. The general sampling area includes: the
continental shelf to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula extending from
the northern tip of Adelaide Island to the southern portion of Alexander
Island, and Marguerite Bay. Ship, Cruise, Dates R/V Laurence M Gould,
