Vertical distribution of zooplankton biomass in the Sea of Japan

Listed in PANGAEA

Vertical distribution of total zooplankton biomass and major taxonomic groups are investigated by layers to depths of 2500-3400 m on the basis of three series of net plankton collections.

Description

Zooplankton is most abundant above 1500-2000 m. Since true deep-water species do not occur in the Sea of Japan, biomass drops much more sharply at greater depths than it does in the ocean.

Since few carnivores inhabit the deep layers, abundant remains of planktonic organisms fall to the bottom, and carnivorous detritovores feeding on these remains are dominant in deep water bottom fauna.
