Figure 1 This graph shows the diversity of Zooplankton at the 3 oceanic spots used for data. It also shows that the diversity of species within each location. |
 |
Figure 2 This graph shows the diversity of copepods in each of the locations used in this study. Here, it shows that Calanus plankton are the most common types of copepods at each bay, and tied for first in brackish water. |

Figure 3 Walsingham Pond was the only brackish water location used for data. The graph shows that the plankton in this pond have some similarities to that of ocean bays, but also contain other species. Here, the most common was upside down jelly fish, followed by insect larvae. |
| Location | Diversity Index |
| John Smith | 0.361904762 |
| Whalebone | 0.210826211 |
| Tobacco | 0.356725146 |
| Walsingham | 0.166666667 |

Table 1
The
diversity index of each location was also calculated using Simpson's
Diversity Index*, where n is the number of individuals of a
particular
speciesand N is the total number of species in the sample.
The table
shows that Walsingham Pond had the most diversity and John Smith's Bay
was the least diverse.
