The Plasticity of the Antioxidant Defence System of Coastal Zooplankton Communities [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionZooplankton are expected to enhance their antioxidant defences and activate stress‐related biomarkers in response to warming and reduced salinity or hypoxia and cyanobacteria blooms, reflecting both physiological adaptation to increased oxidative stress ...

Decadal Response of Mesozooplankton Assemblages to Nutrient Load Reductions in Laizhou Bay, China
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Reducing nutrient loads from catchments is an important strategy to mitigate coastal eutrophication. The decadal responses of ecosystems to nutrient load reductions can help us understand the effectiveness of environmental restoration.

Coastal Mesozooplankton Assemblages during Spring Bloom in the Eastern Barents Sea
Biology, 2022 Mesozooplankton play an important role in Arctic shelf ecosystems as a trophic link and a key food source for many larval fish species. The distribution of mesozooplankton in the eastern Barents Sea was studied along a 500 nautical mile-long transect in ...

Interactions between zooplankton and crude oil: toxic effects and bioaccumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We conducted ship-, shore- and laboratory-based crude oil exposure experiments to investigate (1) the effects of crude oil (Louisiana light sweet oil) on survival and bioaccumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in mesozooplankton ...

Active Carbon Flux of Mesozooplankton in South China Sea and Western Philippine Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The active carbon flux mediated by diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton is an important component of the downward carbon flux in the ocean. However, active fluxes transported by zooplankton DVM are poorly known in the South China Sea (SCS) and ...

Impacts of hypoxia on the mesozooplankton community structure in a semi-enclosed bay
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Gamak Bay is frequently affected by hypoxia in summer. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of hypoxia on the mesozooplankton community of this region. Mesozooplankton samples were obtained biweekly (28 times) at a hypoxic station (inner bay)
