for the Kuroshio–Oyashio confluence area out to the Emperor Seamounts.

Plate 10.2 Time-averaged C. finmarchicus C5–C6 abundance (m−3) at 7–10 m depth
from a combination of CPR samples collected between 1958 and 2000 and plankton
sampling in the Norwegian Sea during 1997. Arrows showing annual average velocity
at 10 m depth and the 2°C and 11°C annual average isotherms are from a global
circulation model for 1997 conditions.
