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.

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.

Patterns of mesozooplankton community composition and vertical fluxes in the global ocean

bioRxiv, 2021
Vertical variations in physical and chemical conditions drive changes in marine zooplankton community diversity and composition. In turn, zooplankton communities play a critical role in regulating the transfer of organic matter produced in the surface ...

Multi-storm analysis reveals distinct zooplankton communities following freshening of the Gulf of Mexico shelf by Hurricane Harvey

Scientific Reports, 2022
Tropical cyclones can highly modify coastal ecosystems through interactions between their unique set of meteorological traits and an ecosystem’s antecedent conditions. As such, resultant changes to biological community structure are likely storm-specific,

In situ automated imaging, using the Plankton Imager, captures temporal variations in mesozooplankton using the Celtic Sea as a case study

Journal of Plankton Research, 2021
The Plankton Imager (PI) is an underway semi-automated, high-speed imaging instrument, which takes images of all passing particles and classifies the mesozooplankton present.

Fish Abundance and Mesozooplankton Resource: a study on Sprattus sprattus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Actinopterygii: Clupeidae) in the Romanian Black Sea Waters

Acta zoologica Bulgarica
Food availability influence the state of fish stocks, with effects on the demographics, composition and productivity of fish populations. In the spring seasons of 2018–2020, expeditions were carried out in order to collect data for Sprattus sprattus ...

Environmental Regulation of the Nitrogen Supply, Mean Trophic Position, and Trophic Enrichment of Mesozooplankton in the Mekong River Plume and Southern South China Sea

Journal of Geophysical Research - Oceans, 2021
The mean trophic position (TP) of mesozooplankton largely determines how much mass and energy is available for higher trophic levels like fish. Unfortunately, the ratio of herbivores to carnivores in mesozooplankton is difficult to identify in field ...

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.

Copepod Community Structure in Pre- and Post- Winter Conditions in the Southern Adriatic Sea (NE Mediterranean)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Copepod communities were studied along an east-west transect in the oligotrophic Southern Adriatic Sea. This dynamic region is under the influence of various physical forces, including winter vertical convection, lateral exchanges between coastal and ...

Trophic flows to mesozooplankton support the conventional paradigm of pelagic food web structure in ocean ecosystems

ICES Journal of Marine Science
The current conventional paradigm of ocean food web structure inserts one full level or more of microzooplankton heterotrophic consumption, a substantial energy drop, between phytoplankton and mesozooplankton.
