| In this paper we present for the first time detailed nutrient and oxygen figures for the Ionian Sea. The data were collected during cruises in March-April 1987 and August-September 1987, in the framework of the multi-nation research programme for the exploration of the Eastern Mediterranean, POEM. The oxygen and nutrient pattern is affected by the presence of mesoscale cyclonic and anticyclonic gyres in the area, the most interesting feature of which is the large anticyclonic flow region southwest of Peloponnesus (Pelops gyre). The chemical characteristics of the main water masses were also determined. In the deep layer of the stations near the Otranto Strait we have found, in winter, newly formed Adriatic Bottom Water (O2 : 5.3 ml/l). This water mass has... |

| Full-depth profiles of zooplankton numerical abundance and major taxa composition are presented with special attention to the dominant copepod fauna, for directly comparable data sets from sites to a depth of 4 300 m in the Levantine and Red Seas, which are also compared with the deep mid-latitude NE Atlantic. Copepods showed highest proportions of calanoids, cyclopoids sensu lato and harpacticoids in the 333 mum net subsurface samples from the Atlantic. Among the calanoids as the predominant group, there was a distinctly disproportionate, extended and depth-related sequence of zonal dominance by one single species of a family each at mesopelagic and bathypelagic depths in the Levantine Sea and the Red Sea. The mass occurrence of dormant Eucalanus monachus... |
