W. Greve et al., BIOCOENOTIC CHANGES OF THE ZOOPLANKTON IN THE GERMAN BIGHT - THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF EUTROPHICATION AND CLIMATE, ICES journal of marine science, 53(6), 1996, pp. 951-956
Meso- and macrozooplankton have been sampled in the German Eight since
1974. Inter-annual changes in the dynamics of selected species have b
een analysed in terms of mean annual abundance and timing of abundance
maxima. Information on new immigrants is also presented. Possible cau
ses of the observed changes, particularly in relation to nutrient avai
lability and climatic signals, are discussed. (C) 1996 International C
