Description

Maps of the North Atlantic showing the mean decadal abundance for calanoid copepod assemblages from 1960-2019, updated from Beaugrand et al. (2002). https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1071329

The calanoid copepod assemblages distributions are available for four groups: Warm-temperate copepods, Pseudo-oceanic temperate copepods, Cold-temperate copepods and Sub-Artic copepods.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 862428 (MISSION ATLANTIC).
