Copepoda were the most common and abundant group and Oithona similis was the dominant species throughout the area. Polychaeta, Ostracoda and Chaetognatha were also rather common and abundant. Euphausiacea, Amphi-poda and Salpae occured mainly in the central part and the outlet area of the bay. No differences in zooplankton assemblages diversity in the four investigated areas of Admiralty Bay were en­countered. However, distinct differences in species richness between the zooplankton of Ezcurra Inlet and the main basin of the bay were observed. The composition of zooplankton was rather stable throughout the year, but seasonal occurrences of larvae of Polychaeta, Crustacea, Echino-dermata and Ascidiacea were noted. A Ust of the 174 zooplankton taxa ever found in Admiralty Bay is presented by combining the present results with the existing scientific data.}, type={Article}, title={Antarctic neritic zooplankton community (Admiralty Bay, King George Island, South Shetland Islands)}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/110714/PDF-MASTER/2001-1_011-033.pdf}, keywords={Antarctic, Admiralty Bay, diversity, zooplankton}, }
