Zooplankton of Wellington Harbour, New Zealand

February

February

Sea surface temperatures vary between 17.5°C. and 20°C. but are consistently higher than in January. The volume of February samples is rarely more than 10cc, and all species are poorly represented. Pleurobrachia pileus is usually absent, and the only stomatopod larvae recorded are those of Squilla armata. Twenty decapod species are found in February, but these are represented by few individuals excepting the larvae of Petrolisthes elongatus, P. novaezelandiae, Jaxea sp. and Halicarcinus spp. which are all common.
