SCOPEX - Figure 3

Figure 3. Distributions of Calanus and surface (2m) salinity in 1988 (left) and 1989 (right) relative to the 100 m isobath. Water column abundances (number m-2) of total Calanus (C3 and older stages) are shown as shaded areas, with symbols showing locations of peak abundances. Dotted shading represents Calanus abundances from 100,000-200,000 m-2; line shading represents abundances from 200,000-300,000 m-2. Small dots show the hydrographic locations used to contour salinity. (K. F. Wishner, J. R. Shoenherr, R. Beardsley and C.
