Oceanographic mechanisms that possibly explain dominance of neritic-tropical zooplankton species assemblages around the Islas Marías Archipelago, Mexico

The nearshore zooplankton species assemblage, identified per taxonomic groups (20) and per species for 12 selected groups, was analyzed from samples collected during November 2010 at four volcanic islands of the Islas Marías Archipelago (IMA), located 90-120 km offshore Nayarit, Mexico. From chlorop...

description The nearshore zooplankton species assemblage, identified per taxonomic groups (20) and per species for 12 selected groups, was analyzed from samples collected during November 2010 at four volcanic islands of the Islas Marías Archipelago (IMA), located 90-120 km offshore Nayarit, Mexico.

Crustaceans numerically dominated the zooplankton assemblage (92.3%) [Copepoda (79.2%), Decapoda larvae (4.7%), Cladocera (3.7%), Mysidacea (2.7%), and Euphausiacea (2.0%)].
