Fig. 7
Total abundance (Ind 100 m−3) of (a) holoplankton and (b) meroplankton at each sampled site in Caucahué Channel. The most representative holoplankton taxa are shown in (c, e and g): c hyperiidae, e Chaetognatha and g Metridia sp. The most representative meroplankton taxa are shown in (d, f and h): d Callianassa sp., f Caridea sp, h Pagurus sp. Black bars correspond to samples collected in the surface stratum (0.1 to 0.2 m depth) and white bars to those collected in the deeper stratum of the water column (10 to 15 m depth). The horizontal black and white thick bars indicate the time of the day when sampling was conducted: white = day light conditions, grey = dusk conditions, black = night conditions. The colored thick bar shows the section of the channel where the samples were collected. Red = southern section of the channel, green = northern section of the channel. Tidal cycle is represented by a black continuous line at the bottom of the figure
