What physical and biological factors could explain the patterns of zooplankton abundance over depth?

Solution

The physical factors the explain patterns of zooplankton abundance are the mixing of the water column which basically included upwelling and downwelling along the coast and in the open ocean.These two processed affect nutrient availability and this affects the phytoplankton production in total.

On the other hand theb iological factors affecting their abundane are breeding(whether the species can grow in a given environment),.Another one is predation.This is followed by the concentration of phytoplankton, and vertical migration
