Phyto- and zooplankton in Arctic sub-Arctic seas show very strong seasonal changes diversity biomass. Here we document the variability mesozooplankton community structure a fjord Northern Norway based on monthly sampling between November 2018 February 2020. We combined traditional morphological identification with DNA metabarcoding of 313 base pair fragment COI gene. This approach allowed us to...

In order to better understand the cold dome influence on zooplankton community structure, samples were collected during southwest monsoon prevailing period from southeast waters of East China Sea. To reduce bias caused by different sampling months, in June 2018 and 2019. An obvious activity was proven images remote sensing satellites cruise. contrast, research area much affected open sea high t...

In order to understand how mesozooplankton assemblages influenced phytoplankton in coastal and estuarine waters, we carried out amonthly investigation onmesozooplankton composition at two contrasting stations of Hong Kong coastal and estuarine waters and simultaneously conducted bottle incubation feeding experiments. The assemblage of mesozooplankton was omnivorous at both stations with varying...

Sea ice is a major driver of biological activity in the Southern Ocean. Its cycle growth and decay determines life history traits; food web interactions; populations many small, ice-associated organisms. The regional ocean modelling system (ROMS) for sea western Ross has highlighted two modes duration: fast-melting years when water temperature warms quickly early spring melts out mid-November, ...

The strong seasonality of sub-Arctic seas needs to be considered understand their ecosystems. Hudson Bay system undergoes seasonal changes in 1) sea ice conditions, alternating between complete cover winter and open water summer; 2) river discharge, which peaks the spring influences stratification bay; 3) surface circulation that consists a weak double gyre summer cyclonic autumn.
