Abstract

The horizontal heterogeneity of common zooplankton species in the Keretskaya Guba tidal estuary in the White Sea was studied. Based on an analysis of a series of simultaneously taken samples and the dispersion index, I w = σ2/ $\bar{m}$ (where σ2 is dispersion and $\bar{m}$ is average population number), the existence of two and more levels of aggregation in most of the studied zooplankton species was found. The formation of patches of 1–20 m was most likely determined by biological causes, while patches some hundreds of meters long were formed due to the hydrodynamic conditions of the area.
