Extract

During the autumn of 1965 a detailed study was carried out by members of the National Institute of Oceanography and Scripps Institution of Oceanography into the vertical distribution of the micronekton, plankton and sonic scattering layers in the upper 1000 m at a position off Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands. This is one of a number of similar papers by various authors on the vertical distribution of the animal groups sampled (Angel, 1969; Clarke, 1969). A background to the investigation, including the hydrology of the area studied, has been given in an introductory paper by Currie, Boden & Kampa (1969).
