Purpose
The comparison had the purpose of determining any changes in the
mesozooplankton structure and in the trophic network

Some conclusions• Sospensivor gelatinous are
increasing like Oikopleura spp. • Detritivores are really increasing?The temperature increase is going to
change the quality and quantity mesozooplankton community?

The comparision was based on Skjoldal et al.
There are some problems about this:• Studies in Bering Sea• Different net meshes• Not enough data for to create a good
correction index

These were only some of the results obtained.
The complexity of the comparison and the problems found leads me to increase the studies and to start new research projects
to finish it.
