Global Distribution of Zooplankton Biomass Estimated by In Situ Imaging and Machine Learning

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Zooplankton plays a major role in ocean food webs and biogeochemical cycles, and provides major ecosystem services as a main driver of the biological carbon pump and in sustaining fish communities.

Zooplankton-phytoplankton biomass and diversity relationships in the Great Lakes.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Quantifying the relationship between phytoplankton and zooplankton may offer insight into zooplankton sensitivity to shifting phytoplankton assemblages and the potential impacts of producer-consumer decoupling on the rest of the food web.

Zooplankton Biomass in Ponds - Determination of Biovolume and Dry Weight

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2023
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using simple screening methods to determine zooplankton biomass in ponds. Among the applicable methods, we selected sedimentation determination of wet biomass and dry biomass determination.

The impact of fish predation and cyanobacteria on zooplankton size structure in 96 subtropical lakes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Zooplankton are relatively small in size in the subtropical regions. This characteristic has been attributed to intense predation pressure, high nutrient loading and cyanobacterial biomass.

Role of zooplanktonic functional groups in a shallow mesotrophic reservoir

Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2023
: Aim Zooplankton functional groups play an important role in lake functioning and can readily respond to environmental changes and may be associated with phytoplankton changes.

Cascading effects of freshwater salinization on plankton communities in the Sierra Nevada

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2023
Runoff containing road salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) causes the salinization of inland freshwaters, with potentially severe impacts on aquatic species. We performed a mesocosm experiment to test the effects of salinization on plankton community structure ...

Phytoplankton control by stocking of filter-feeding fish in a subtropical plateau reservoir, southwest China

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Stocking of filter-feeding fish (mainly Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and Aristichthys nobilis) is a common method used in lakes and reservoirs in (sub)tropical China to control phytoplankton, but the results are ambiguous and lack long-term data to ...

Zooplankton Biomass Depletion Event Reveals the Importance of Small Pelagic Fish Top-Down Control in the Western Mediterranean Coastal Waters

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The influence of hydrochemistry and trophic conditions on the coastal zooplankton community’s biomass and metabolic activities was investigated along the Spanish Mediterranean coastal waters, from Algeciras Bay to Barcelona, from autumn 2011 to autumn ...

Zooplankton variability in the Strait of Georgia, Canada, and relationships with the marine survivals of Chinook and Coho salmon.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The Strait of Georgia, Canada, has complex interactions among natural and human pressures that confound understanding of changes in this system. We report on the interannual variability in biomass of 12 zooplankton taxonomic groups in the deep (bottom ...
