- Abstract:
- Samples of Calanus finmarchicus will be collected during spring and summer from approximately 18 stations located across the North Atlantic and from the Norwegian Sea. Microsatellite primers for C. finmarchicus will be developed and used to analyse levels and patterns of diversity within and between samples. The data obtained will be used to establish the presence of sub-populations of the species together with associated gene flow and will be interpreted in relation to the current structure of the area using historical data and, if possible, data to be generated in Marine Productivity Application 2.3. Complementary data will be obtained from a limited number of winter samples and from a time series of samples from the eastern American seaboard.
