5 ntroduction Very little is known about the composition and biornass of zooplankton in the Antarctic pack-ice Zone in winter. During the third leg of the Winter Weddell Sea Project (WWSP '86) with RV "Polarstern", frorn 28 September to 14 December 1986, zooplankton samples were taken for biornass studies. The following data lists and diagrarns show wet, dry and of organic matter (ash-free dry ) of zooplankton organisms of various taxa and size classes at different stations. Further quantitative investigations of the total zooplankton biornass in the Weddell Sea during late winter will make use of these data in addition to the catch data and the number of individuals in each taxa. The srnallest organism that was sorted out, rneasured 0.25 rnm, the largest 160 mrn. For detailed inforrnation about cruise track, station lists and gear See Annex and Schnack-Schiel (1 987). Methods Most of the zooplankton organisms were taken frorn Bongo net hauls (rnesh size 300 prn). A Nansen net (rnesh size 100 prn) was used for copepods and larvae smaller than about 1 mrn, and adult euphausiids and other large specimens were obtained frorn a RMT (Rectangular Midwater Trawl) and a Krill net. The locations of the stations are shown in Figures 1-5. The fresh samples were kept cool in ice boxes and sorted fresh as far as possible according to species, developrnental Stage and Sex. Siphonophores, gastropods, polychaets, ostracods, euphausiids (furciliae - adult), decapods, amphipods, chaetognaths, salps and fish larvae were caught by forceps and measured (total length; fish larvae: standard length) on board. Then 1-60 similar specirnens were placed in a glass via1 and frozen at -80Â C Fresh copepods frorn the Bongo hauls were identified and sorted according to stages and Sex. Here up to 200 specimens were used for one sam-

9 ple. Formalin-preserved copepods of sorne representative stations were rneasured in the laboratory for total length. While rnost of the stages showed little size variation Calanus propinquus copepodite stage V (CV) and fernales of Calanoides acutus showed a broad range of lengths. These stages were therefore subdivided into two size categories, sorted and rneasured separately once a sufficient nurnber of individuals had been found. The small cyclopoid copepods, copepod nauplii and the euphausiid brood were sorted with a pipette and washed onto pre-cornbusted and pre-weighed GFIC-filters (also up to 200 specirnens per filter). To correct the weighing results, filters with seawater only were frozen and dealt with in the sarne manner. Altogether 1192 sarnples were taken of 54 taxa (Table 1). Table 1. List of analyzed taxa.

Pleuragramma antarcticurn BOULENGER, 1902 In the Alfred Wegener Institute the sarnples were stored in a -30Â roorn. For measurements the anirnals were unfrozen and put into pre-combusted and pre-weighed alurninium vials. Wet was rneasured using a Sartorius 1712MP8 balance. Dry s and ash-free dry s were deterrnined as in Bilrnstedt (1974). The sarnples were dried in an oven at 60Â for 24 hours (adult and juvenile Euphausia spp. for 48 hours). Following rneasurernent of the dry the sarnples were incinerated in a muffle furnace at 5OO0C for 12 hours (adult and juvenile Euphausia spp. for

11 24 hours) and ash was substracted frorn dry to calculate ash-free dry. Both dry and ash were rneasured on Sartorius superrnicro 4504MP8 after cooling the samples in a desiccator. For the species on filters only dry and ash-free dry was deterrnined. All results are presented in tables. The lengthldry, lengthlorganic matter and dry lorganic matter relationships for Euphausia superba, Euphausia crystallorophias, Thysanoessa macrura, Calanus propinquus, Calanoides acutus, ßhincalanu gigas, Metridia gerlachei and Euchaeta antarctica are shown in Figures 6-29.
