March

March

Sea surface temperatures in this month are between 16°C. and 17°C. Plankton volume is about 15cc, with greater numbers of Thalia democratica being mainly responsible for this small increase. Larval Crustacea have increased with first stage larvae of Squilla armata, Munida spp., Paguridae and some brachyuran species recorded. Twenty-six larval decapod species are present with Petrolisthes novaezelandiae and Paguridae the most common.
