Description:
Plankton samples were taken nearly every month in the years 1970/71. The neuston net sampled the surface plankton and the bongo net the rest of the water column. In total 32 species were found, most were numerically insignificant. The most abundant species were gobiids (more than 51 % ot total) followed by herring, sandeel, Onos and Pholis. Commercial species e.g. plaice, flounder or cod were rare. The majority of the fish larvae did not show a preference for the surface. Only Belone, Gasterosteus and Cyclopterus were caught almost exclusively in the surface layer.
