1.描述了缅因州湾哲水蚤群落丰度的季节和地理波动.丰度中心的移动与从水文观测和Limacina入侵种群的漂移推断的表层环流密切相关。影响人口密度分布的主要因素是冬季从新斯科舍海岸流入的相对贫瘠的水。海湾似乎是哲水蚤群落向其他沃茨扩散的一个地区,但从其边界以外获得的补充相对较少。在晚春,一个繁殖种群是通过建立一个周期性的漩涡来维持的。给出了年生产力和季节性死亡率的估计数。海燕和鲭鱼渔业的分布似乎与浮游动物的分布有关。
1. The seasonal and geographical fluctuations of the abundance of the calanoid community of the Gulf of Maine are described.2. The shift in the center of abundance is closely correlated with the superficial circulation, deduced from hydrographic observations and the drift of an invading population of Limacina.3. The principal factor influencing the distribution of population density is the inflow of relatively barren water from the Nova Scotian coast in winter.4. The Gulf appears to be an area from which the calanoid community spreads to other waters, but which receives relatively small recruitments from without its borders.5. A breeding stock is maintained by the establishment of a recurrent eddy in the late spring.6. Estimates of annual productivity and seasonal mortality are given.7. The distribution of petrels and of the mackerel fishery appears to be correlated with the distribution of zooplankton.
