Pelagic ecosystems are changing in response to the recent climate warming. The mesozooplankton and copepods in particular are important indicators of the state of aquatic ecosystems.

Micro- and mesozooplankton successions in an Antarctic coastal environment during a warm year
The rapid increase in atmospheric temperature detected in the last decades in the Western Antarctic Peninsula was accompanied by a strong glacier retreat and an increase in production of melting water, as well as changes in the sea-ice dynamic.

Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...

Giant phytoplankton revealed by in situ imaging
Abstract Deployment of an autonomous Zooglider in the western Mediterranean Sea revealed the presence of long phytoplankton chains attaining maximum lengths of 6.4–10.4 mm suspended in situ. Elongate chains included the diatoms Guinardia, Proboscia, two other diatom morphologies, and solitary filaments of the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium. Most elongate

Low-latitude waters of the Indian Ocean are warming faster than other major oceans. Most models predict a zooplankton decline due to lower productivity, enhanced metabolism and phytoplankton size shifts that reduce trophic transfer efficiency.

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).

The Importance of Mesozooplankton Diel Vertical Migration for Sustaining a Mesopelagic Food Web
We used extensive ecological and biogeochemical measurements obtained from quasi-Lagrangian experiments during two California Current Ecosystem Long-Term Ecosystem Research cruises to analyze carbon fluxes between the epipelagic and mesopelagic zones ...

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 ...

ABSTRACT One of the major subfields of chemical ecology is the study of toxins and how they mediate interactions between organisms. Toxins produced by harmful algae (phycotoxins) impact a wide variety of organisms connected to the marine food web. Significant research efforts have thus aimed to identify the ecological and evolutionary drivers behind ...

A global assessment of mesozooplankton respiration in the ocean [PDF]
Published data on the biomass and specific respiration rates of mesozooplankton in the oceans across all latitudes were combined to assess their community respiration on a global basis. Mesozooplankton biomass was higher in boreal/anti-boreal and polar waters, intermediate in equatorial waters and lowest in the subtropical gyres.
