Figure from Epipelagic communities in the northwestern Weddell Sea: Results from high-resolution trawl surveys

Return to the article from which this figure is taken.

Figure 1. Hourly total biomass of animals (in grams per 1,000 cubic meters) collected with the MOCNESS net system in the upper 100 m of the water column in the northwestern Weddell Sea. Data are presented for hourly time periods beginning at the time indicated by the symbols. Symbols indicate values from individual trawls, and solid lines represent mean values for trawl samples from a given time period. Biomass estimates are based on measurements of preserved wet weight, uncorrected for the dehydrating effects of the preservation process, and should be regarded as underestimates of the true values.
