Copepod habitat suitability estimates vary among oxygen metrics in Chesapeake Bay

James J. Pierson et al.

Summary: The study utilizes water quality monitoring data to analyze the seasonal and inter-annual variability in habitat for the copepod Acartia tonsa in Chesapeake Bay. Results show that the P-crit metric predicts the largest volume of unsuitable deoxygenated habitat over space and time, with dry conditions leading to a decreased extent of deoxygenated habitat. Although no clear relationship between copepod abundance and habitat availability was observed, the peak abundance of A. tonsa correlates with the extent of deoxygenated habitat using the P-crit metric.

Shifting seasonal timing of peak abundance of two invading ctenophore populations in the Black Sea during the period 1991-2017

A. L. Vereshchaka et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the factors affecting zooplankton dynamics in shelf-sea ecosystems, particularly in the Black Sea. The results showed that the development of ctenophore populations accelerated over time, while mesoplankton behavior remained constant. The study provides insights into the adaptive strategies of invading ctenophores and allows for predictions of ctenophore blooms.

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

James Scott et al.

Summary: The Plankton Imager (PI) is a high-speed imaging instrument that can capture and classify mesozooplankton. Data collected in the Celtic Sea shows that it is able to describe seasonal and interannual changes in the mesozooplankton community, demonstrating a robust method for studying marine ecosystems.
