A comparison of zooplankton collection methodologies summer , 1999
نویسنده
چکیده
In Otsego Lake, as in any aquatic environment, the size and diversity of the zooplankton community is useful as an indicator of the limnetic ecosystem's overall characteristics. Regular examination of the abundance, size, and variety of these microscopic organisms can provide insight into many matters of biological importance. Examples of issues that might be indicated are eutrophication, algae control, and the impacts of an introduced species upon various trophic levels (Warner, 1999).

The Zooplankton of Bardestan Creek in the Persian Gulf
Samples of Zooplankton of Bardestan Creek and its offshore waters were collected using a 100 cm long (30 cm diam.) mesh net of a 110 µm pore size in March (winter) and August, 2014 (summer) on a fishing boat; preserved in 5% formalin, identified and population abundances per cubic meter counted. Eighteen stations (9 stations each in the creek and offshore waters) were sampled. |Mean zoopl...
متن کاملSpatial and Temporal Distribution of Zooplankton Biomass in the Northeast Persian Gulf
The zooplankton biomass and distribution were studied during two oceanographic cruises in NE part of the Persian Gulf in autumn 2012 (November) and summer 2013 (August) with 300 μmmesh net. Zooplankton samples were analyzed for biomass content. Zooplankton biomass expressed as mg m-3 dry wt., was greatest during summer cruise (mean of 18.8 ± 4.6 mg m-3 dry wt.). The mean zooplankton bioma...

The impact of young-of-the-year (YOY) fish predation on zooplankton dynamics and cascading effects down to phytoplankton were studied in lake enclosures using different densities of larval and juvenile European perch (Perca fluviatilis). Two experiments, one in June and one in August, were performed in Lake Dagstorpssjön, a slightly eutrophic lake in Scania, southern Sweden. In our experiments,...

Seasonal variations of zooplankton communities were studied in the southern Caspian Sea for 4 successive seasons and 8 transects with 5 stations from 5 to 100 m depths which sampled during 2009. The zooplankton population constituted of 73.33% copepods, 24.21% rotifers, 2.23% cladocerans and 0.23% protozoans. Copepods were dominant at all stations with a density between 1456±531 ind. m-3 (Trans...
متن کاملEffects of the 1997–1999 El Niño and La Niña events on zooplankton abundance and euphausiid community composition within the Monterey Bay coastal upwelling system
Zooplankton abundance and euphausiid community composition were sampled seasonally (spring, summer, fall) within Monterey Bay, California, between 1997 and 1999. Measurements of sea surface temperature (SST), mixed layer depth, and upwelling indices provided concurrent data on physical oceanographic parameters. Both total zooplankton and krill abundance dramatically declined in the summer of 19...
