Abstract
    The distribution of zooplankton in the Southern Ocean depends on seasonal changes in quantity and on redistribution of the plankton by currents. In the upper 100 m the meridianal component of the current shifts the maxima of some species northwards from the divergence zone at a mean velocity of about 20 cm/sec. In the Antarctic convergence zone the water sinks at a mean velocity of 10.5 m/day. This brings about an increase of the total plankton amounting to about 3% per day. As the southward flow of deep water is very slow the transfer of plankton in this layer is negligible.
