Zooplankton time series

Here we show concentrations of Copepods, Amphipods, Decapods, Euphausiids, and Total Biomass as time series at each location, for all years.

In these figures, data for each station are plotted horizontally at the time of sampling, at a vertical location that coincides with its location in the map at left. Some stations (e.g., from Cowichan Bay) have been offset vertically to avoid confusing them with other locations.

Oceanographic conditions in the Strait are seasonally affected by freshwater inflow, and the blue line at the bottom indicates the flow of the Fraser River at Hope, which is the major source of freshwater to the Strait.
