New paper by Yebra et al.

New paper by Lidia Yebra and co-workers in Polar Research. These are the results of zooplankton biomass, vertical distribution and metabolism during the ICEPOS cruise in the Bransfield Strait. Interesting to see that about half of the biomass in Antarctic waters is below 200 m depth. During the last decade, we have been arguing that vertical distribution of mesozooplankton and krill is of paramount importance to understand the flux of carbon in the Antarctic waters. As usual, the paper is available on request.
