Physical and biological monitoring at Prince 5 during 1998 : a preliminary analysis / F.H. Page, M. Ringuette and A. Hanke. : Fs70-1/2000-097E-PDF
The Prince 5 station is located on the northern side of the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, east of Campobello Island and north of Grand Manan Island in approximately 100 m of water. The station has been sampled since at least 1913, but biological sampling has been sporadic. As a result of the dramatic decline of the northern cod fish stock and the consequent closure of the fishery in the early 1990s, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) put a new emphasis on monitoring the marine physical and biological environment of Atlantic Canada. Consequently, a modest monitoring program was designed and began to be implemented in 1997-98. As part of this program the regular physical sampling at Prince 5 was to be enhanced with regular sampling of plankton and water chemistry. The enhanced monitoring program was initiated with a three year DFO Strategic Research Fund Project, which has a general objective of gaining a better understanding of the temporal and spatial scales of variability represented by the physical and biological data collected at Prince 5 and Station 27. The objectives for the Prince 5 component of the project included: (1) initiation of regular zooplankton sampling at Prince 5, (2) collation of existing data and literature pertaining to the zooplankton in the vicinity of Prince 5 and adjacent areas, (3) analyses of the data for temporal and spatial patterns, (4) estimation of the temporal and spatial scales over which the data from Prince 5 is representative, and (5) suggestions for refinements to the monitoring strategy for Prince 5. This report focuses on the first objective. The main goal is to provide a very preliminary analysis of the sampling effort and data collected at Prince 5 during 1998, the first full year of zooplankton sampling. As the data become more fully analyzed and quality controlled some of the results from this analyses may change.
