Description:
Plankton samples taken along the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula and in Bransfield
Strait show widespread occurrence of Bathylasma corolliforme nauplius larvae during the
austral spring, mid-October to the third week of December. During autumn, between the
first week of May and early June there was a complete absence of balanomorph nauplii.
This evidence shows periodicity in reproduction. There is a seemingly close correlation
between the presence of these nauplii and the published data on phytoplankton biomass
and seawater surface temperature.
