Neustonic microplastic and zooplankton in the North Western Mediterranean Sea.
Neustonic microplastic and zooplankton abundance was determined in the North Western Mediterranean Sea during a summer cruise between July 9th and August 6th 2010, with a break between July 22 th and 25th due to a strong wind event. Ninety percent of the 40 stations contained microplastic particles (size 0.3-5mm) of various compositions: e.g., filaments, polystyrene, thin plastic films. An aver...
متن کاملMesozooplankton carbon requirement in the Tyrrhenian Sea: its vertical distribution, diel variability and relation to particle flux
Mesozooplankton consumes an important fraction of particulate organic matter sinking down the water column in all oceans. We investigated the vertical distribution (down to 2000 m depth) and diel variability (during a 24 h cycle) of the mesozooplankton carbon requirement (μg C g−1 d−1), estimated by measuring the activity of the electron transport system (ETS), at a fixed station in the open so...
متن کاملFlexible diel vertical migration behaviour of zooplankton in the Irish Sea
The diel vertical migration (DVM) of the whole plankton community was investigated in the central and coastal Irish Sea. Generally, more than 60% of the plankton did not perform significant DVM. A correlation analysis of the weighted mean depths of different organisms and their potential predators suggested relationships between 2 groups: Oithona spp., copepod nauplii and fish larvae, and Calan...
متن کاملDiel vertical migration and spatial overlap between fish larvae and zooplankton in two tropical lakes, Brazil.
The effect of fish larvae on the diel vertical migration of the zooplankton community was investigated in two tropical lakes, Finado Raimundo and Pintado lakes, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. Nocturnal and diurnal samplings were conducted in the limnetic region of each lake for 10 consecutive months from April 2008 to January 2009. The zooplankton community presented a wide range of response...
متن کاملOrigin and characteristics of the zooplankton phosphatase activity in a coastal ecosystem of the Mediterranean sea (Toulon Bay).
In Toulon Bay (France), very high phosphatase activities have been found in the zooplankton fraction>90 microm. This work was intended to specify their origin. For that purpose, larvae, juvenile and adult Crustacea (Copepods: Calanoids, Cyclopoids, Branchiopods: Cladocera, and Cirripeds) were isolated. Their activities were measured using paranitrophenyl phosphate dissolved in sea water in orde...
