Warm-water Species in the Plankton off Newfoundland during Winter Months

Abstract

SINCE September 1959 plankton samples have been taken, at monthly intervals whenever possible, with the Continuous Plankton Recorder1 between Iceland and Newfoundland. The Recorder is towed by commercial ships and obtains a continuous sample of plankton from a depth of 10 m. This sampling is part of a regular survey of the plankton of the North Atlantic Ocean and North Sea conducted from this Laboratory.
