The plankton net used is the MARUKAWA's type net (30cm in diameter with XX 13 bolting silk MÜLLER's gause : 0.097×0.097 mm mesh). Sampling was made from the water between -30 and 0m by vertical towing at all the stations except for the nearshore stations shallower than 30m, where the towing was done from the bottom to the surface. To determine the quantity of plankton, settling volume set in test tube after 24 hours was measured and the plankton volume of ml per cubic meter (ml/m^<3>) was calculated. Thus, the comparison of plankton volume was made between the stations (Table 1).}, pages = {80--83}, title = {Notes on the Plankton Community in the Habitat of Nautilus off the Southeast Coast of Viti Levu, Fiji}, volume = {4}, year = {} }
