Materials and Methods
Line drawings have been prepared only of
those anatomical parts which are essential for
the correct identification of the species.
SEM micrographs are intended as companion illustrations to line drawings often in
substitu~ion of t~ese since they rev~al many
anatomIcal detaIls not always evident at the
light microscope.
The data on species spatial distributions
are e~press~~ as numbers 100- 3 • The geographIc posItions of all stations are plotted
in distribution maps. Each station includes all
samples collected at that specific geographic
position with no consideration for the depths
at which different samples were collected.
. The vertical distribution of each species,
gIven at the end of each identification card ,
was obtained by grouping data for three
geographic areas which take into consideration the bot~om topography and hydrography
of the Strruts. These are referred to in the
text as:
PACIFIC AREA, from the Pacific entrance
to Carlos III Island (stations: 5, 6, 7, 9, 10,
11);
CENTRAL AREA, from Carlo III Island to
Pelicano Point (stations: 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19);
ATLANTIC AREA, from Pelicano Point to the
Atlantic entrance (stations· 20 21 22 23
26).

Illustrations for vertical distribution data
were compiled by considering only stations
where a given species had been sampled at
least once. Distribution maps show the mean
for a given species sampled at the same depth
throughout the Pacific, Central and Atlantic
areas. Temperature (T) and fluorescence (F)
profiles are shown for a key station within
each area: St. 9 for the Pacific area, St. 15 for
the Central area and St. 20 for the Atlantic
area. The conventional unit (F) for in vivo
fluorescence in the ran,e 0-10 volts corresponds to 0-50mg/m for Chi a with a
resolution of 0.1 mg/m 3 and an accuracy
variability of less than 10%.
Temperature and fluorescence values for
each station and each depth are reported in
Table 2.2 together with values for salinity
and total copepod abundance.
Species abundance data for the stations
and depths sampled during the Cariboo
Cruise are reported in Appendix 2.
