Abstract
Temperature and salinity define a set of conditions within which planktonic organisms can survive and develop. Thorson ( 1946) described the restriction of some meroplankters to Kattegat water in the Oresund which was presumed to be based on either a temperature, or a salinity discontinuity or both. Bary ( 1963a, b, c) , in an extensive study of North Atlantic plankton, clearly demonstrated a relationship between zooplankton distribution and temperature-salinity distribution. Banse ( 1956) observed the distribution of polychaete and echinoderm larvae with respect to various water masses in Kiel Bay. He concluded that these larvae were restricted to their "Gebirtswasser" the temperature-salinity characteristics of these water masses. In a subsequent paper ( 1959) he described a similar situation for copepods. ( ...)
