Data Description
Abundance anomalies for 20 zooplankton taxa
Introduction to Indicator (Please explain your indicator)
Zooplankton represent a critical trophic link from primary producers to fish in marine ecosystems.
Key Results and Visualization
Abundance anomalies of small and large copepods have varied over time by EPU.
Small bodied copepods and cnidarians show increasing trends in all EPUs.
Large bodied copepods and euphausiids show no significant trend in any EPU.
Implications
Check these. If they are correct, we could be seeing the less energy dense zooplankton becoming more abundant in each system.
