Short summary
The diel vertical migration of zooplankton is considered the largest daily migration of biomass on Earth. This study investigates zooplankton distribution, dynamics, and factors controlling them during open-water and ice cover periods in Hudson Bay, a large seasonally ice-covered Canadian inland sea. The presented data constitute the first-ever observed diel vertical migration of zooplankton in Hudson Bay during winter and its interaction with the tidal dynamics.
