The near-bottom plankton and benthic invertebrate fauna of Josephine and Great Meteor Seamounts (Table 2)

DOI

15 samples obtained with Beyer's epibenthic closing net were studied quantitatively. The numbers of epi- and endobenthic animals were found to be correlated with the volume of sediment in the samples. Among the planktonic components, calanoid copepodes were strongly predominant. In the samples obtained on the Great Meteor Seamount, very much larger numbers of these animals were caught in the daytime than at night. Possible explanations for this difference are suggested.

Values <0.005 #/m**3 means "group is present"
