The vertical distribution of plankton (bacteria, nanozooplankton, microzooplankton, mesozooplankton, macrozooplankton and salps) biomass in the photic zone near the JGOFS time series station off Bermuda was examined during 2–3 week periods in August 1989 and in March/April 1990. The amount of phytoplankton carbon in the photic zone was lower in August as compared to March/April (398 and 912 mg C m−2, respectively). Total heterotrophic biomass in the photic zone was also lower in August as compared to March/April (1106 and 1795 mg C m−2, respectively). Taken together, bacteria and nanozooplankton constituted approximately 70% of the total heterotrophic carbon in the photic zone on both cruises.
