What is it about?
This study investigates zooplankton distribution, dynamics, and factors controlling them during open-water and ice cover periods (from September 2016 to October 2017) in Hudson Bay

Why is it important?
The presented data constitute the first-ever observed DVM in Hudson Bay during winter and its interaction with the tidal dynamics. In this study, we were able to determine the presence of multiple zooplankton species that could have been involved in DVM from samples collected by the sediment trap.
Perspectives
DVM in Hudson Bay is controlled by solar illumination throughout the whole year, not by moonlight. DVM in Hudson Bay is significantly affected by tidal dynamics
