Euphausiids are a group of pelagic, shrimp-like crustaceans that play an important role in the marine food web and are an essential prey item of juvenile salmon and Herring. Monitoring surveys of euphausiids, in particular the species Thysanoessa spinifera, aim to characterize seasonal, inter-annual, and long-term variability of Euphausiid production dynamics in Barkley Sound. Monthly surveys are conducted at five stations and take place at night when euphausiids are active in surface waters. |
