Mesozooplankton of the northern Barents Sea in October 1998

Qualitative and quantitative mesozooplankton composition was examined on materials collected during an expedition carried out in October 1998 onboard the research icebreaker Akademik Fedorov. At different stations number of species varied from 25 to 33; wet biomass - from 20 to 109 g/m**2. Flux of autochthonous organic matter through plankton communities calculated from data on structural and functional analysis was from 2 to 40 mg C/m**2/day.

本研究依托1998年10月搭载科考破冰船‘费多罗夫院士号’（Akademik Fedorov）开展考察所采集的样品，对中型浮游动物（mesozooplankton）的定性与定量组成进行了分析。各采样站位的物种数介于25至33种，湿生物量为20至109 g/m²；通过结构与功能分析数据计算得到的浮游生物群落内源有机物通量范围为2至40 mg C/m²·d。
