Trophic relationships of exotic anadromous salmonids in the southern Patagonian Shelf as inferred from stable isotopes
On the basis of their thermal preferences, salmon introduced in South America can distribute over the whole Southern Patagonian Shelf Ecosystem (SPSE). Stable isotope (d13C and d15N) data show that the SPSE is dominated by zooplanktivorous species (15 of 37), and its community is distributed over six trophic levels (TL), with salmonids occupying levels 4.2 to 4.9. A dual isotope mixing model wa...
متن کاملProductivity-Diversity Relationships in Lake Plankton Communities
One of the most intriguing environmental gradients connected with variation in diversity is ecosystem productivity. The role of diversity in ecosystems is pivotal, because species richness can be both a cause and a consequence of primary production. However, the mechanisms behind the varying productivity-diversity relationships (PDR) remain poorly understood. Moreover, large-scale studies on PD...
متن کاملPlankton Respiration, Production, and Trophic State in Tropical Coastal and Shelf Waters Adjacent to Northern Australia
In a changing ocean, tropical waters can be instructive as to the potential effects of climate induced changes on marine ecosystem structure and function. We describe the relationships between planktonic community respiration (CR), net community production (NCP), gross primary production (GPP), and environmental variables in 14 regions and three ecosystem types (coastal, coral reef, and open se...
متن کاملRelationships Between NearSurface Plankton Concentrations, Hydrography, and SatelliteMeasured Sea Surface Temperature
In situ measurements of surface chlorophyll and zooplankton concentration are compared with in situ hydrographic measurements and infrared satellite images of the west coast of British Columbia for early winter and midsummer study periods. Maximum winter concentrations ofchlorophyll (1.0 mg m-3) and zooplankton (2900 counts m-3) were found in colder, more stratified nearshore water. Warmer wate...
متن کاملDiscriminating mesozooplankton communities in Bushehr marine coastal ecosystems- Persian Gulf
Coastal ecosystems of Bushehr are shallow environments subject to human impacts, including shrimp aquaculture and urban expansion activities. A spatial-temporal study was conducted in order to assess the actual ecological status of the creeks, estuary and marine sites on the basis of their taxonomic composition and density of mesozooplankton. Zooplankton species distribution and abundance data ...
