Distribution and abundance of Euphausia mucronata: development stages and its relationship with temperature and chlorophyll-a concentration

ABSTRACT Euphausia mucronata abundance and distribution of the developmental stages (calyptopis, furciliae, juveniles, and adults) was analyzed as a function of seawater temperature and chlorophyll-a concentration between Paposo (25°S) and Coquimbo (30°S), Chile. Zooplankton samples were obtained us...
