Exploring Mesozooplankton Insights by Assessing the Ecological Status of Black Sea Waters Under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive

Oceans
Mesozooplankton are highly responsive to environmental changes, making their population dynamics and species composition important indicators of large-scale oceanic conditions.

Zooplankton of Tikehau atoll (Tuamotu archipelago) and its relationship to particulate matter [PDF]

, 1989
The standing stock and taxonomic composition of zooplankton (> 200 microns) were monitored in the lagoon of Tikehau atoll from April 1985 to April 1986. These data were supplemented by two 10 d studies on the variability, structure and functioning of the

Flux‐driven evolution: Nitrogen fixation underlies contrasting stoichiometric strategies and genetic lineages in an open‐ocean copepod

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Variability in nutrient supply is a defining feature of oligotrophic oceans, yet how nutrient fluxes shape consumer physiology and population structure remains poorly resolved. Here, we examine how diazotrophic nitrogen fixation relates to stoichiometric metabolism and genetic structure in the widespread pelagic copepod Pleuromamma xiphias ...

Ecology of mesozooplankton across four North Atlantic basins

Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2020
Abstract A comparative study of the mesozooplankton in four North Atlantic basins is presented. During a trans-Atlantic expedition with R/V G.O. Sars in May and June 2013, the Norwegian Sea, Iceland Sea, Irminger Sea and Labrador Sea was surveyed twice on a round trip from Bergen, Norway to Nuuk, Greenland. Mesozooplankton samples of biomass, species

Spatial Distribution Pattern of the Mesozooplankton Community in Ross Sea Region Marine Protected Area (RSR MPA) during Summer

Diversity
The Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area (RSR MPA) is one of the most productive regions in the Southern Ocean. Mesozooplankton intermediates the primary product to the higher predators, such as penguins and seals, in this ecosystem.

Temporal and along-shelf distribution of the larval fish assemblage at Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

Scientia Marina, 2009
Temporal and spatial variations of the larval fish community off the island of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) were studied in weekly surveys from October 2005 to June 2006.

Ocean acidification effects on mesozooplankton community development: Results from a long-term mesocosm experiment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Ocean acidification may affect zooplankton directly by decreasing in pH, as well as indirectly via trophic pathways, where changes in carbon availability or pH effects on primary producers may cascade up the food web thereby altering ecosystem ...

Life strategies of cephalopod paralarvae in a coastal upwelling system (NW Iberian Peninsula): Insights from zooplankton community and spatio-temporal analyses [PDF]

, 2016
18 páginas, 6 figuras, 6 tablasThe early life stages of cephalopods - octopods, squids, sepiolids and ommastrephids -, are uncommon in zooplankton samples and little is known about their life strategies.

On the Assessment of Sinking Particle Fluxes From In Situ Particle Size Distributions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The biological carbon pump is a vital component of the global carbon cycle, particularly through the sinking of particulate organic carbon (POC) into the ocean interior. Particle size distribution (PSD) observations from the Underwater Vision Profiler (UVP) have been widely used to quantify sinking POC fluxes.

Global Diversity of Mesopelagic Mesozooplankton

Abstract Despite the ecological importance of mesozooplankton, little is known about their global distribution and diversity in the mesopelagic realm. This study examines the spatial distribution and diversity of 861 mesozooplankton species using species distribution models.
