Distribution of Oikopleura dioica (Tunicata, Appendicularia) associated with a coastal frontal system (39°- 41°S) of the SW Atlantic Ocean in the spawning area of Engraulis anchoita anchovy

Among tunicates, the small planktonic appendicularians generally comprise a significant fraction of the mesozooplankton in frontal systems. The summer 2011 distribution (vertical and spatial) of Oikopleura dioica was studied in terms of abundance, biomass, estimation of egg production and population...
