Since the last report 2018, we have completed over 80 CPR tows during the 2018/19 and 2019/20 Antarctic field season from research vessels from several countries. Approximately 272,000 nautical miles have been sampled since the commencement of the SO-CPR Survey in 1991, representing some 55,000 samples for 293 zooplankton taxa coupled with environmental data.
