High-speed plankton samplers are used aboard the USBCF vessel MURRE II to determine changes in distribution and abundance of zooplankton. These small animals are important sources of food for young salmon once they enter salt water. The distribution and abundance of plankton is partially controlled by water temperature, salinity, and ocean currents.
