| contents | Biomass of seston in the surface layers of coastal waters off Namibia reaches 1 g/m**2 and decreases with distance from the shore. Two regions of high seston biomass, one northern and one southern, are distinguished. A subsurface maximum of seston biomass, presumably coinciding with the stream of compensating countercurrent, is identified in the 200-500 m layer. Similar vertical distribution of plankton is known in upwelling areas of the eastern shores of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and in several other ocean areas, such as the area of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench. This fact probably indicates that life cycles of pelagic animal forms of various taxonomic groups that inhabit them and phases of their ontogenic migrations are similar. |
