In 1960 a program of monitoring the zooplankton populations of Yaquina Bay, Oregon, was begun. The frequency of sampling was maintained at close to weekly intervals after 1 January 1963, usually at five stations. Abundances of all the species found in the bay of both meroplankton and holoplankton have been...
Grazing rates and density of the crustacean zooplankton were measured
in Findley and Chester Morse Lakes and Lake Sammamish, Washington.
Sample analysis is incomplete at reporting time, thus estimates of
production from examination of life stage biomass changes was not possible.
Maximum density of crustacean zooplankton was about 10/1 in...
Zooplankton grazing rates and life history stage densities for secondary
production estimates were determined in three lakes in the Cedar River
watershed, Washington. Eight copepod species, seven cladoceran and nine
rotifer species were identified in the three lakes. No one species of
cladoceran or copepod occurred in all the lakes,...
This report contains the data gathered at Ocean Station "P" in late June and early July of 1971 on the "SUBARCTIC-A" cruise of R/V YAQUINA. The data include: 1) temperature, salinity, and oxygen profiles; 2) estimates of zooplankton displacement volumes at different depths; and 3) estimates of the numerical density...
The Northern California Current (NCC) ecosystem exhibits extreme seasonal, interannual and interdecadal shifts in the abiotic environment and shifts in primary and higher production. This variability is also apparent in the spatial structure of the ecosystem with nearshore-shelf waters (<150 m isobath) being highly productive and having a different community...
In eastern boundary current upwelling ecosystems, mesoscale circulation features such as eddies and upwelling filaments play a prominent role in the transfer of water and the associated plankton from the productive nearshore to the oligotrophic deep sea. The relationship between mesoscale circulation, zooplankton distributions, and the across-shelf transport of coastal...
