In marine ecosystems, copepods (<2 mm) play an important role in the transfer of carbon and energy to higher tropic levels. Investigations Jiaozhou Bay were carried out throughout 2017–2018, combined with laboratory experiments. The annual abundance, egg production, female prosome length, mass, clutch size, population composition, development time Oithona similis at different temperature...

Accelerated anthropogenic changes in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS) have facilitated introduction, spread and establishment of invasive copepod species this region. Here, we report introduction two non-native cyclopoid copepods Dioithona oculata Oithona davisae for first time Israeli coastal waters describe their temporal variability. The were identified by morphological characteristics, D...

Survey on zooplankton composition was studied during June 2015 to March 2016, by selecting six stations along the coastal waters of Bushehr (the Northwest Persian Gulf). Twenty four zooplankton taxa were identified, and the different zooplankton groups represented twenty-one families. Copepoda was recorded with the most abundance (53.30 %) followed by Malacostraca (32.87 %), which in turn was f...

Abstract Sustainable fishery practices require accurate predictions of fish recruitment—the abundance a new year class entering fishery. A key driver recruitment is the impact predator-prey dynamics experienced during early life stages has on their survival at later stages, as in Match-Mismatch Hypothesis (MMH). MMH states that predator depends match (or mismatch) between timing feeding and pre...

Mariculture is considered a future economic source for Indonesia. However, this practice may degrade the surrounding ecosystem by decreasing water quality, including plankton community. This study aimed to determine community structure of (phytoplankton and zooplankton) in mariculture sites. Study sites were selected based on activities Research Center Marine Terrestrial Bioindustry (PRBILD-BRI...

Abstract The traditional view is that the Arctic polar night a quiescent period for marine life, but recent reports of high levels feeding and reproduction in both pelagic benthic taxa have challenged this. We examined zooplankton community present Svalbard fjords, coastal waters, shelf break north Svalbard, during night. focused on population structure abundant copepods ( Calanus finmarchicus ...

To provide a baseline description of copepod assemblages in the Pechora Sea, an estuarine area with great economical and ecological importance, we conducted survey during summer season. A total 24 taxa were identified study, Acartia longiremis, Calanus finmarchicus, Centropages hamatus, Copepoda nauplii, Eurytemora affinis, Oithona similis, Pseudocalanus spp., Temora longicornis being most nume...
