520 |a“The Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) was implemented in 1998 with the aim of increasing Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s (DFO) capacity to understand, describe, and forecast the state of the marine ecosystem and to quantify the changes in the ocean physical, chemical and biological properties. A critical element of the AZMP involves an observation program aimed at assessing the variability in nutrients, phytoplankton and zooplankton. The overall aim is to identify fundamental relationships among elements of the planktonic ecosystem and establish how they respond to changes in environmental drivers. A description of the seasonal patterns in the distribution of phytoplankton (microscopic plants) and zooplankton (microscopic animals) provides important information about organisms that form the base of the marine foodweb. An understanding of the production cycles of plankton, and their interannual variability, is an essential part of an ecosystem approach to fisheries management. This report provides an assessment of the distribution and abundance of macronutrients and plankton on the NL Shelves highlighting the biological oceanographic conditions in 2014-15 but contrasting previous years where information is available"--Introd., p. 1.
