Density of postlarval krill and furcilia larvae [ind. m−2] at the open surface and under ice (0–2 m) in summer (2007/2008), autumn (2004) and winter (2006). Geometric mean values significantly different from each other (ANOVA p<0.05) were printed in bold. ice = under-ice SUIT hauls; ow = open water SUIT hauls; n = number of samples.
