• Biovolume spectrum theories applied: spatial patterns of trophic levels within a mesozooplankton community at the polar front 

      Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Tande, Kurt Steinar; Zhou, Meng (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      Three-dimensional data on the mesoscale distribution of hydrography and mesozooplankton were collected at the Polar Front, northwestern Barents Sea, in spring 2008 (29 April 15 May) using a combination of multinet and towed instrument platform equipped with Laser Optical Plankton Counter, fluorometer and CTD. Trophic levels (TLS) within the zooplankton community (whole community and size-separated) ...
    • Habitat selection by a marine copepod during the productive season in the Subarctic 

      Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Tande, Kurt Steinar; Stige, Leif Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010-10-14)
      Few studies have analysed the depth distribution of marine zooplankton at high-resolution, and knowledge obtained from theoretical modelling studies predominates over that from empirical field studies. We analysed depth selection by the marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus during spring and summer in neritic and oceanic Subarctic regions. Data on hydrography and zooplankton distribution in the upper ...
    • On the use of the HUGIN 1000 HUS Autonomous Underwater Vehicle for high resolution zooplankton measurements 

      Pedersen, Ole Petter; Gaardsted, Frank; Lågstad, Petter Arthur; Tande, Kurt Steinar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      This paper evaluates and tests the HUGIN 1000 HUS AUV as a carrier platform for the Laser Optical Plankton Counter (LOPC). The LOPC was mounted outside on top of the carrier platform, and the tests confirm that this concept did not create turbulence and zooplankton avoidance. A negligible velocity difference between the flow passing through the sampling tube and the AUV speed was detected. The ...
    • Restructuring of a zooplankton community by perturbation from a wind-forced coastal jet 

      Pedersen, Ole Petter; Tande, Kurt Steinar; Li, Chaolun; Zhou, Meng (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010-09)
      The impact of transient wind events on an established zooplankton community was observed during a, field survey in a, coastal region off northern Norway in May 2002. A transient wind event induced a coastal jet/filament intrusion of warm, saline water into our survey area where a semi-permanent eddy was present. There was an abrupt change in zooplankton community structure within 4-7 days of the ...
