Water masses are typified according to the intensity of bioluminescence and its structure. The most intensive bioluminescence was observed in equatorial waters, the Brasil Current and in the transformed waters of the Brasil and Folkland Currents as well. In the central part of the anticyclonic circulation, in subtropical waters, in streams of the Folkland Current and in the northern part of the subantarctic water mass bioluminescence is three-five times weaker. The common feature of the bioluminescence distribution over the latitude hydrofront was its increased level in the eastern parts of the adjoining currents. |
