The dry mass of zooplankton ranged from below 10 to almost 100 mg m-3, was highest in 1989–2002 and declined thereafter. The interannual variability of zooplankton dry mass in the period 1993–2018 was compared with the regional atmospheric index WeMOi, chlorophyll a and frequency of jellyfish blooms. Increased dry mass values were associated with a positive phase of the regional atmospheric index WeMOi, higher chlorophyll a and a lower frequency of jellyfish blooms.</dc:description><dc:date>2025</dc:date><dc:date>2026-06-24 15:25:54</dc:date><dc:type>Delo ni kategorizirano</dc:type><dc:identifier>30444</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>UDK: 5, 574</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>ISSN pri članku: 1408-533X</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>DOI: 10.19233/ASHN.2025.17</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>COBISS_ID: 240627203</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language><dc:rights>Imetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
