GMIS - Favourable feeding habitat of Mesozooplankton Monthly 2003-2018 (frequency of occurence, %)

Collection: GMIS : Global Marine Information System 

Description

This study investigates the direct association between an index of mesozooplankton biomass, derived from the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey and satellite-derived productivity frontal features in the North Atlantic. The quality of daily feeding habitat for the most common species of mesozooplankton is related to the horizontal chlorophyll-a gradient derived from satellite sensors of ocean colour.
