Master's thesis in Coastal ecology (BIO501) In this study the seasonality of the mesozooplankton community in spring and summer of 2019 at Midtfjordsskjær (MFS), South Norway, was investigated. Zooplankton samples were collected using a fine mesh sized plankton net (60 μm) and zooplankton were identified by microscopy based on 5 ml subsamples. Total zooplankton abundance ranged from 754 –1620 ind. m-3and peak abundance was found in May. Holoplankton dominated spring and summer communities at MFS constituting between 85,6 –98,8% of total zooplankton.
