Distribution of macroplankton quantities in summer. Figures show the number of hundreds of organisms in each sample, shoaling species being omitted. Those in italics are day hauls and others are night hauls. There can be no doubt of the contrast which normally exists between the South Georgia and Graham Land areas, for these regions have been visited many times in a succession of years. Nor can there be any doubt that the outer parts of the Antarctic water between South Georgia and the Falkland Islands, harbour a quite rich plankton during at least a large part of the summer. Cruises in the Bellingshausen and Weddell Seas have been made on fewer occasions, but it is probable that there is always a rich summer plankton in these Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (Great Britain); National Institute of Oceanography of Great Britain; Great Britain.
