And what does it mean\u2026? It means that we had to pull the 1mm mesh size net through the mesocosms to get out everything of large size, to avoid a massive predation in the bags. Therefore, we went for the greedy-guys in our kosmos world: fish larvae and jellyfish.<\/p>\n<p>We left on the Wassermann boat, Madde, Jan, Micha, and me -the mesozooplankton girl-, with a reaaally cool net, especially built by the guys for this cleaning task. The changeable weather in this last week luckily allowed us to carry out the fishing of the big zooplankters, while we were listening to music, and dealing with the net. But to do that, we needed \u00a0more people to give us a hand (Tim E., Lenni, Andrea, Thomas, Ulf, \u2026) in turns from a second boat to pull the net in the kosmos, as well as a visit of Tim B., turned up out of the blue with warm food to keep our stomachs in a happy mood. Great team \u2026 so 6 hours work for my first sampling day were a piece of cake (or something like this :P). Thanks, guys!<\/p>\n<p>But\u2026 what did we find? These \u201cbig\u201d inhabitants: ephyrae, small jellyfish, ctenophore larvae, some decapoda and exuvias, fish larvae, fish eggs, and big copepods.<\/p>\n<p>Now, our kosmos are \u201cclean\u201d of the big guys, but tiny larvae are still in the water, ready to jump in the kosmos adventure. Let\u00b4s see how they behave.<br \/>\nLooking forward to sunny days in the fjord, as the algae for the bloom\u2026 Happy beginning of the spring to all of you!<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 190px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/KOSMOS2013\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2013\/08\/Collages-s.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Collages-s\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/KOSMOS2013\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2013\/08\/Collages-s-180x300.jpg\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photos: Maria Alguero, AWI and Michael Sswat, GEOMAR<\/p><\/div>\n<div>By Maria Alguer\u00f3<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last 15th March it was \u201ct6: the cleaning day\u201d in the KOSMOS 2013 Gullmar Fjord.
