Preliminary results of biological studies in the 1st Ukrainian Antarctic expedition in Subarea 48.2 in March 1997

In March - early April 1997 biological, oceanographic and geological operations were carried out on the Ukrainian scientific research vessel "E. Krenkel" in subarea 48.2. The similar observations, but in much less amount, were carried out in subarea 48.1.
The preliminary results of biological studies make possible to characterize the krill population state, other functionally significant components of the plankton community.
