Zooplankton composition and distribution in Kronotsky Gulf during the spring months of 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2023
Data on species composition and spatial distribution of zooplankton in spring months in Kronotsky Gulf in 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2023 are provided. It is found, that Copepods make up the main group in the abundance and biomass of zooplankton community. Neritic and oceanic zooplankton species persist in the gulf not isolated, what is due to their migrations and adaptations to environmental conditions. Zooplankton distribution in the waters of Kronotsky Gulf is regulated by coastal aquatic circulation and Kamchatka Current.
