“…11). The upward migration starts between 2030 UTC and 2100 UTC and is completed by 2215 UTC during which time the zooplankton have covered a distance of about 50 m. The vertical swim speed can therefore be estimated as w zoo = 50 m/5400 s ≈ 1 cm s −1 , consistent with copepods and euphausids (Vlymen, 1970;Wiebe et al, 1992). We observed an increase in the values of S v to about −75 dB during the suggested migration event.…”

“…͗W͘ runs from 0.16 m/s for salps (Wiebe et al, 1979) to 0.03 m/s-0.06 m/s for copepods and euphausiids (Wiebe et al, 1992). We have computed the expected swimming speed ͗U͘ from ͗W͘ assuming both U and are independent Gaussian distributed random variables.…”

“…This is likely a conservative estimate as the distance migrators travel might be considerably shorter than 75 m because the migrant community is found concentrated at the very base of the mixed layer above the subsurface chlorophyll maximum (Roman et al 1993). Swimming speeds reported for the copepods Pleuromamma xiphias and Euchirella messinensis are 138 and 173 m h -1 , respectively, and 191 m h -1 for the euphausiids (Wiebe et al 1992), which is within the range reported for mixed migrant populations (72 to 216 m h -1 ; Heywood 1996). We calculated that the migrants require 24 to 33 min to descend 75 m. Using this time span, and the measured GPT of Thysanopoda aequalis/Euphausia brevis, a mean of 18% (range = 0 to 76%, n = 6) of the initial gut content would remain in the guts of the euphausiids upon descent below the mixed layer.…”
