Abstract
No significant differences were found among the average amounts of mesozooplankton studied at seven stations in the northern part of the Gulf of Aqaba (six coastal and one offshore station) in 2003. The seasonal variation of the zooplankton biomass, however, followed a clear pattern: average values were high during autumn and spring, and low during summer (June– September). Size fractions >500 μm dominated the sampled biomass and comprised 69% of the total biomass. A higher portion of biomass (58%) was obtained at the coastal stations compared with 42% at the offshore station.
