Fig. 1.Map of the study area showing the cross-shelf transect of the Namibian upwelling where zooplankton samples were collected during the SUCCESSION cruise. Stations from NAM001
to NAM018 were sampled four times, while samples from NAM019 to NAM027 were collected only once. The transect was divided into coastal (C), transition (T) and offshore (O) areas
according to the geological and oceanographical properties of the stations.
