| Abstract | This technical report summarizes the results of a three year study of the zooplankton living in the nearshore zone off Newport, Oregon. The sampling program was part of the Early Life History (ELH) project of the Oregon State University Sea Grant Program and was designed to study the ecology of the larval forms of all fishes, shrimps and. crabs, as well as the zooplankton. These samples are valuable because they are the first from Oregon to have been collected and analyzed from stations located very near to shore. In the past, zooplankton studies have been based on samples collected along transects beginning at stations 5 or 15 miles from the beach, or on samples collected well offshore over the continental slope. Our samples are also the first collected within the zone of intense coastal upwelling. Huyer (1974), among others, has identified this zone as extending from the beach out to about 10 km from shore. |
