Samples were collected by hauling Nansen nets verticaly through the 100 — 0, 300—100 and 500 — 300 m layers in December 1983 and January 1984. Of the six species recorded — Metaconchoecia isocheira, Alacia hettacra, Alacia belgicae, Metaconchoecia skogsbergi, Boroecia antipoda and Discoconchoecia off. elegans — the first three, endemic to Antarctic waters — were predominant (92.9%). Ostracoda were found most abundantly in the eastern part of the study area — between Elephant Island and South Orkney Islands, and in the south-western part of Bransfield Strait. Their vertical distribution depended on the hydrological conditions. Ostracoda were most numerous in the 500—300 m and 300 — 100 m layers; very few were recorded in the 100—0 m surface layer.}, type={Article}, title={Horizontal and vertical distribution of Ostracodain Drake Passage and Bransfield Strait (BIOMASS-SIBEX, December 1983-January 1984)}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/110983/PDF/1995-3-4_149-161.pdf}, keywords={Antarctica, BIOMASS-SIBEX, Ostracoda}, }
