Contribution of Calanus species to the mesozooplankton biomass in the Barents Sea [PDF]

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2017
AbstractCopepods from the genus Calanus are crucial prey for fish, seabirds and mammals in the Nordic and Barents Sea ecosystems. The objective of this study is to determine the contribution of Calanus species to the mesozooplankton biomass in the Barents Sea.

Distribution of mesozooplankton biomass in the global ocean [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2012
Abstract. Mesozooplankton are cosmopolitan within the sunlit layers of the global ocean. They are important in the classical food web, having a significant feedback to primary production through their consumption of phytoplankton and microzooplankton. They are also the primary contributor to vertical particle flux in the oceans.

Assessment and constraint of mesozooplankton in CMIP6 Earth system models

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2022
Abstract Although zooplankton play a substantial role in the biological carbon pump and serve as a crucial link between primary producers and higher trophic level consumers, the skillful representation of zooplankton is not often a focus of ocean biogeochemical models.

Characterization of the zooplankton in the continental shelf of the Brazilian Equatorial Atlantic

Boletim do Instituto de Pesca, 2023
The equatorial Atlantic is characterized by its high abundance of zooplankton. However, starting point studies concerning the species composition in the northern Brazilian continental shelf are still scarce.

Tidal effects on short-term mesozooplankton distribution in small channels of a temperate-turbid estuary, Southwestern Atlantic

Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2015
The short-term variability of mesozooplankton distribution and physicochemical variables was examined in two different channels of the Bahía Blanca Estuary, Argentina, during two tidal cycles.

Effects of Body Size and Environmental Region on the Nutritional Value of Small Pelagic Species in the California Current

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We evaluated the effects of regional environment and body size on the nutritional traits of five small pelagic species differing in habitat use, feeding behavior, and importance as prey for top predators in the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME).

Interannual Variations in Distribution and Density of Japanese Anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) Larvae in the Shelf‐Break Region of East China Sea During Spring (2001–2022)

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Japanese anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) is the most abundant fish in the East China Sea (ECS) and an important fishery resource throughout its life stages. Using samples collected along the ECS shelf‐break in April over a 22‐year period (2001–2022), we examined the horizontal distribution and interannual variability of larval density (mean ...

Winners and losers in subarctic moth communities in a changing climate: Marine regime shifts as predictors for terrestrial insect biomass

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
1972–2017, the total moth biomass ina subarctic community had a positive trend but biomass trends differ betweenmoth groups based on taxonomy, phenology and resource use. In the northern latitudes,outbreaking species impact greatly moth biomass Moth biomass is associated withtemperature variables and marine Regime shifts, which can be effective ...

Distribution patterns of mesozooplankton biomass in the North Sea [PDF]

Helgoländer Meeresuntersuchungen, 1990
During spring 1986 and winter 1987, zooplankton samples were collected over the entire North Sea by means of a multi-closing net-system. Before taxonomic treatment, wet weight estimates and carbon content conversions were carried out. From this data set, 4 962 522 tons zooplankton biomass (dry weight) were estimated for the whole North Sea during the ...

Changes in mesozooplankton of the southern Baltic in 1979-1988 [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1991
Composition, abundance, biomass and vertical distribution of mesozooplankton are compared over a ten-year period using data collected in the Gdańsk, Gotland, and Bornholm Deeps in 1979-1988. Some changes in the dominance structure among Copepoda were observed. Biomass values, compared with earlier data, were high.
