The inf luence of advection on Calanus near Svalbard: statistical relations between salinity, temperature and copepod abundance

We quantify statistical relationships between hydrography and abundance of Calanus spp. in the Arctic–Atlantic transition zone around Svalbard (78–82°N) during early autumn. The Atlantic species C. finmarchicus was more abundant in warmer and more saline waters, as expected from its distributional core area. Conversely, the Arctic species C. hyperboreus was more abundant in colder and fresher waters. However, the Arctic species C. glacialis...
