Evidence of Diel Vertical Migration in Mnemiopsis leidyi
The vertical distribution and migration of plankton organisms may have a large impact on their horizontal dispersal and distribution, and consequently on trophic interactions. In this study we used video-net profiling to describe the fine scale vertical distribution of Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Kattegat and Baltic Proper. Potential diel vertical migration was also investigated by frequent filmin...

In this Quick Guide, Brierley provides a brief overview of a pervasive aspect of aquatic ecosystems, the daily movement of organisms up and down the water column.
متن کاملDiel vertical migration behaviour of Calanus hyperboreus
Samples historically collected and analysed by the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey in the North Atlantic and adjacent seas were used to examine temporal patterns in the near-surface abundance of copepodite stages V and V1 Calanus hyperboreus (n = a total of 32836 samples; mean latitude of samples = 54" N. SD = 6.7'). The occurrence of CV and V1 C. hyperboreus was largely restricted to sampl...
متن کاملAbundance, horizontal and vertical distribution of the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the central Balitc
The distribution and abundance of the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Bornholm Basin, an important spawning ground of several fish stocks, and in adjacent areas in the central Baltic Sea was studied in November 2007. The study showed that M. leidyi were relatively small (body length 18.6 ± 7.6 mm) and they were patchily distributed over a large part of the investigated area. Specim...
متن کاملFine-scale vertical distributions of Mnemiopsis leidyi ctenophores: predation on copepods relative to stratification and hypoxia
Plankton concentrations near discontinuities in the water column (clines) are be lieved to be important for intensifying trophic interactions; however, evidence for increased feeding by predators at clines in situ is scarce. Here we demonstrate enhanced feeding near pycnoclines by a voracious planktivore, the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi. To determine their feeding relative to stratification, w...
