Seven species of Ostracoda were recorded: Alacia belgicae, Alacia hettacra, Melaconchoecia isocheira, Metaconchoecia skogsbergi, Boroecia antipoda, Disconchoecia aff. elegans and Proceroecia brachyaskos. The first three species, endemic to Antarctic waters, were predominant (about 90%). Generally Ostracoda were most numerous in 600-200 m layer in summer and in 1000-400 m layer in winter. In the investigated area there was a clear contrast between the abundance of Ostracoda during austral summer and scarcity during austral winter.}, type={Article}, title={Planktonie Ostracoda in Croker Passage (Antarctic Peninsula) during two austral seasons: summer 1985/1986 and winter 1989}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/110872/PDF-MASTER/1997-2_079-087.pdf}, keywords={Antarctic, planktonic Ostracoda, distribution}, }
