Zooplanktonsamplingwasconductedatonesta&on(78º50’N,1º59’W)during1July2011.Sampleswerecollectedfromfivedepths(1500–1000–500–200–50–0m)byaver&calMul&Nethaul(MN:150µmmesh,0.25m2mouthopening).
Zooplanktonwassampledatonesta&on(73º48’N,159º58’W)during27September2013.Sampleswerecollectedfromfourdepthstrata(1000–500–200–100–0m)byaver&calhaulwithaVer&calMul&plePlanktonSampler(VMPS:62µmmeshsize,0.25m2mouthopening).
・Zooplanktonsampleswereimmediatelypreservedwith5%bufferedformalin.・Ateachsta&on,temperature,salinityanddissolvedoxygenweremeasuredbyCTDcasts.Chlorophylla(Chl.a)wasalsomeasuredwithfluorescencesensor.

・Basedonzooplanktonabundance,clusteranalyses(Bray-Cur&sconnectedwithUPGMA)weremade.・Speciesdiversi&es(H’)werealsocalculatedbasedoncopepodabundance.・Toclarifythedepthdistribu&onofeachspeciesortaxon,depthswhere50%ofthepopula&onresided(50%distributedlayer:D50%,Pennak,1943)werecalculated.Addi&onalcalcula&onsofD25%andD75%werealsomade.
