Large-scale distributions of zooplankton communities in the Bering Sea (from Zenkevitch 1963). Surveyor, and the University of Alaska research vessels Acona and Thomas G. Thompson. Zooplank- ton and micronekton were sampled with a variety of nets, including 60-cm bongo, 1-m ring, and 2-m NIO trawl. The 1-m net ( or mm Nitex) was generally fished vertically between the seabed and the surface or, at deeper locations, from 200 m to the surface. The bongo-net ( or mm Nitex) and NIO trawl ( mm nylon) collected organisms in open double oblique tows. The former was always equipped with digital flowoneters to measure volumes filtered and a time-depth recorder to monitor the maximum depth of the sample; although most samples were taken from the upper 100 m, the 2-m trawl was occasionally fished deeper than 500 m. Several hundred samples were processed to provide lists of species and determine the abun- dance of plankton organisms at various times and locations. The work sponsored by BLM/NOAA addressed distributional properties in four subareas of outer Bristol Bay defined bathymetrically (Fig. 57-3). These were identified as: (1) open ocean (depths greater than 200 m); (2) outer shelf (depths between 100 and 200 m); (3) central shelf (depths between 50 and 100 m); and (4) north
