Abstract:
A long-term time series of subsurface zooplankton is performed in the oligotrophic Bay of Calvi (Corsica, Ligurian Sea, NW Mediterranean) from 2003 onwards. It is carried out from the marine station STARESO and is based on weekly measurement of zooplankton biovolumes. The main objectives are (i) to determine the seasonal cycle and inter-annual variability of the organisms, (ii) to study the dynamics of the populations, and (iii) to understand zooplankton interactions with other co-sampled hydrographic, meteorological and phytoplankton variables at the site.

Comment:
Zooplankton was collected with a Wp2 net (mesh size 0.2 mm, mouth diameter 0.6 m). The net was hauled horizontally at a depth of 5 m at an average speed of 2.5 km/h for 20 min. Sampling started around 07:00 am (local time).
All zooplankton samples were concentrated at 0.20 l and preserved in 2.5% neutral formalin immediately after collection. Each net was always fitted with a flow-meter to measure the volume of water filtered. In the laboratory, samples were transferred into graduated cylinders in order to separate by gravity gelatinous organisms from other mesozooplankton. The zooplankton settles on the bottom of the cylinder, whereas the gelatinous floated. The volume of the sedimented zooplankton or bio-volume was measured after 24 h of sedimentation in these graduated cylinders.
