Vertical distribution of zooplankton in Lake Nasser

Vertical Distribution of Zooplankton and Copepod Community Structure in the Straits of Malacca

Vertical distribution of zooplankton biomass and abundance, copepod taxonomic composition and species diversity were analyzed at eight stations during an oceanographic expedition along the Straits of Malacca. Samples were collected in vertical hauls (140 μm mesh using 45 cm diameter NORPAC net) from four depth strata. Zooplankton biomass was higher at 10-20 m depth in the central and southern p...

How internal waves influence the vertical distribution of zooplankton

1. We present data with a high spatio-temporal resolution from a 72-h field survey in Bautzen Reservoir (Saxony, Germany). The aims of this survey were to observe hydrophysical processes during a period of unstable stratification in spring and investigate the effect of wind-induced internal waves on the vertical distribution of zooplankton. 2. Wind velocities up to 10 m s 1 caused a strong down...

Zooplankton of Hancağız Dam Lake (Gaziantep - Turkey)

Zooplankton samples were taken seasonally from Hancağız Dam Lake between April 2012- May 2013 period. During the study, a total of 52 species (34 belong to genus Rotifera, 11 to Cladocera and 7 Copepoda) were found in Hancağız Dam Lake.Based on the number of individuals, rotifers were the dominant group in the dam lake (65.4%) followed by Cladocera (21.2%) and Copepoda (13.4%).All of the zoopla...

Hausdorff-Besicovitch Dimension of Lake Nasser Coastline from Satellite Imagery

The paper is proposing a method for evaluating the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension of natural coastlines from satellite images. A fractal dimension is a statistical index which is describing the complexity of a given pattern embedded in given spatial dimensions. In particular, this index is providing a measure of the capacity the considered fractal pattern has to fill the space in which it is e...
