Distributional records of Ross Sea (Antarctica) planktic Copepoda from bibliographic data and samples curated at the Italian National Antarctic Museum (MNA): checklist of species collected in the Ross Sea sector from 1987 to 1995


	Metridia gerlachei (Copepoda, Calanoida; female, MNA-12439) acquired with fluorescence microscopy (Congo Red, 1.5 mg/ml). This species is one of the most adapted species in the Antarctic region and can perform diel vertical migrations that highly influence the surrounding waters in terms of trophic relationships in Terra Nova Bay.
