Diel variation in catches of Euphausia superba Dana 1854 early larvae: Vertical migration or avoidance reaction?
Samples were obtained with two pairs of black and white nets towed simultaneously at varying light conditions in the Weddell-Scotia confluence region. The statistical analysis (ANOVA, Regression and Kruskal-Wallis test) of the log transformed counts of Euphausia superba calyptopes larvae (CI, CII an...
