We investigated the composition, distribution and abundance of micro- and mesozooplankton in the Southern Ocean south of Australia during the austral summer (December to February) of the 27/8 season using a Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR). Four CPR tows were conducted during two separate oceanographic voyages under the CEAMARC (Collaborative East Antarctic Marine Census) project. High zooplankton abundance was recorded on each transect in the Polar Frontal Zone (PFZ) and the Inter Polar Frontal Zone (IPFZ). The community structure in these zones was dominated by common taxa including the ubiquitous small calanoid copepods, Oithona similis and Calanus simillimus, accounting for >7%.
