Procomex Cruise

Below are the members of the Procomex Cruise recently finished in Mazatlán (Sinaloa, México). Two members of the Biological Oceanography Group, Inma Herrera and Gara Franchy, participated in the cruise to study the response of micro- and mesozooplankton to the oxygen minimum zones. This area of the Pacific Ocean is characterized by the rather shallow oxygen minimum and an interesting place to study the response of zooplankton to this deficit in oxygen, especially those organisms performing vertical migrations.
