(A) Map of the Central Baltic Sea with its three basins (BB = Bornholm Basin, GD = Gdansk Deep, GB = Gotland Basin) including the sampling station of the different datasets. (B) Schematic vertical profile of the hydrology together with the copepod (1 = Acartia spp., 2 = Temora longicornis, 3 = Pseudocalanus acuspes) and predator distribution (4). (C) Horizontal profile of the hydrology in August 2001, i.e., the gradient in temperature and salinity at different water depths. The respective depth ranges were chosen based on the species most affected by these parameters in our analysis.
