Growth production of the euphausiid Nyctiphanes simplex on the coastal shelf off Bahía Magdalena, Baja California Sur, México

Growth production of the euphausiid Nyctiphanes simplex Hansen was examined off the southwest coast of the peninsula of Baja California, México (Bahía Magdalena, 24 to 25° N), as a function of seasonal changes of temperature, zooplankton biomass, upwelling index, and regional ocean circulation. The...

Description
Summary:Growth production of the euphausiid Nyctiphanes simplex Hansen was examined off the southwest coast of the peninsula of Baja California, México (Bahía Magdalena, 24 to 25° N), as a function of seasonal changes of temperature, zooplankton biomass, upwelling index, and regional ocean circulation. The data were collected during 4 oceanographic surveys from June to November 1986. High densities of N. simplex were found in the shallow coastal waters (
