Remarks | Gelatinous zooplankton (GZ) were obtained from planktonsamples collected using Bongo nets (mesh size 500 μm, mouth opening 0.3 m^2) towed at about 10 m depth horizontally for 10 min, while the vessel speed was aimed at 3 knots. Sampling dates are estimated. Aggregations of the intraguild predator Cyanea capillata were observed in spring coinciding with the increase in other GZ abundances. Despite this, it is described as rare in abundance in this study. |
