Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The study was conducted at a permanent station (depth of 80 m) in Ramfjorden (ca. 70 degrees N), a branch of Balsfjorden near Tromso, Norway, in November/December 1989. Phytoplankton and zooplankton were collected and sedimentation rates were measured every 3 to 4 days; zooplankton respiration was determined in the laboratory. Phytoplankton concentrations were extremely low and tended to decrease during the investigation period, while zooplankton abundance was still at about 65 % of its annual peak level. Depth distribution was markedly different between copepod species. Pseudocalanus acuspes and Acartia longiremis were more abundant in the surface layer while concentrations of Microsetella norvegica and Microcalanus pusillus were higher in deep water. Weight-specific respiration and faeces concentrations in the surface layer were higher than at depth. It is hypothesized that P. acuspes and A. longiremis remain active in winter and, by feeding, conserve part of the biomass in the pelagial. |
