In the southeast corner water masses were typical of the Antarctic zone, showing a distinct subsurface temperature minimum of <2.5°C. Total integrated chl-a concentration during the survey ranged from 4.15 to 22.81 mg chl-a m[superscript (-2)], with the highest concentrations recorded at stations occupied in the frontal region. These data suggest that the region of the South-West Indian Ridge represents not only an area of elevated biological activity but also acts as a strong biogeographic barrier to the spatial distribution of zooplankton.]]> Thu 25 Apr 2024 15:46:55 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6569 Thu 25 Apr 2024 15:45:37 SAST ]]>
