Abstract
During the autumn of 1954 plankton samples were taken in the northern Irish Sea and the North Channel from R.V. Clupea (Scottish Home Department) as part of a larger survey of the distribution of herring larvae. At the same period similar samples were taken in the central Irish Sea from R. V. William Herdman (Marine Biological Station, Port Erin). The present paper concerns the distribution, as shown by both sets of samples, of a few selected species.I am indebted to all those on both vessels who assisted in taking the samples and to the Marine Laboratory, Aberdeen, for lending me for analysis the samples taken from R.V. Clupea.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
