Remarks Data were collected using a Bongo net equipped with a digital flowmeter, towed obliquely at a speed of 1 knot from near the bottom to the surface. Net had a mouth surface area of 0.125m^2, with a 150um mesh size sieve. Samples were collected monthly during daytime, at an average depth of 10m. Based on Fig. 1, peak abundances were observed from Aug-Sep in 2007, Jun in 2008, Sep in 2009, Feb in 2010, and Nov in 2011. Quantitative data extracted from Tab.1.
