A comparison of morphometric and geometric methods for the estimation of individual zooplankton volumes

Pages 101-105 | Accepted 23 Nov 1999, Published online: 11 Jan 2012
 

Abstract

Morphometric and geometric methods were compared for the determination of volumes of individual zooplankton sampled in a Norwegian fjord, the Storfjorden, using a double Longhurst-Hardy Plankton Recorder (LHPR). Both methods of volume estimation, after correction for shrinkage during preservation, gave satisfactory results and have applications in the determination of the biomass of individual taxa and their developmental stages.
