About this document
2012 - Abyssal Demersal Fish Fauna Composition in Two Contrasting Productivity Regions of The Crozet Plateau, Southern Indian Ocean by donny sophandi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document compares the demersal fish communities at two abyssal sites near the Crozet Islands in the Southern Indian Ocean that experience different levels of productivity. Trawls were conducted at a site with naturally higher iron and nutrient input (+Fe site) and a more oligotrophic site (HNLC site) of similar depth. Species richness and biomass were higher at the +Fe site, but sample size imbalance meant no statistical difference was detected between sites.
