| Mesozooplankton samples were collected during October-November 1991 in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea from four discrete depth layers in the upper 300 m water column and were analysed at copepod species level. Differentiation of species composition with depth was clear, suggesting the existence of an epipelagic (0-100 m) and a mesopelagic (100-300 m) community. Correspondence analysis revealed similarities among areas for the 0-50 m layer, due to the dominance of Clausocalanus furcatus and Oithona plumifera. Dissimilarities among areas appeared below 50 m and increased with depth, discriminating between different copepod assemblages. These dissimilarities appear to be related to different hydrological features (cyclonic gyres or anticyclonic gyres)... |

| The first synoptic basin-wide oceanographic survey in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea was carried out in October-November 1991 within the framework of the international programme POEM-BC (Physical Oceanography of the Eastern Mediterranean - Biology, Chemistry). Mesozooplankton samples were collected at 32 stations in the Sicily Channel, Ionian Sea, Cretan Sea, Cretan Passage, Rhodes area and central Levantine Sea. Vertical hauls were taken from four discrete depth layers in the upper 300 m water column. The gross features of the mesozooplankton communities, at the phyla, class or order level, are described. Depth-integrated abundances showed high homogeneity within each region, with the highest and lowest values recorded in the Sicily Channel (mean: 200 ind.... |

| Zooplankton composition and vertical distribution, and its relation to the hydrological regime are studied in the NW Levantine and SE Aegean Seas. The area is characterized by intense sub-basin and mesoscale variability. Various gyres and eddies as well as currents and jets affect the vertical and horizontal transport of the identified water masses. Furthermore, in late winter LIW is generated exclusively in this region of the Eastern Mediterranean, mainly in the Rhodes cyclonic gyre and to a lesser extent in the Cretan Sea. Generally, zooplankton density and taxa numbers decreased with depth. Four groups of copepod species were distinguished according to their vertical distribution: epipelagic, epi-mesopelagic, mesopelagic and bathypelagic. From 0-500 m,... |
