摘要

Abstract

The northern East China Sea and Yellow Sea are highly dynamic marginal seas

serving as important fishing grounds and primary areas for aquaculture. The zooplankton community structure

including abundance

biovolume

and normalized biovolume size spectra (NBSS) within this ecosystem in summers 2021 and 2022 was assessed through ZooScan digital imaging system. The abundances of zooplankton in summers 2021 and 2022 were 3 364.22±2 190.53 and 4 435.52±2 520.06 inds./m

respectively

whereas the corresponding biovolumes were 649.10±519.63 and 1 064.86±1 254.87 mm

respectively. Small copepods as the dominant zooplankton functional group in terms of abundance in both years

while chaetognath and medusae were the dominant groups in terms of biovolume. The dominance of medusae and chaetognath in terms of biovolume

along with the flatter slopes of NBSS compared to a stable community

indicated that more energy accumulated in gelatinous organisms within the study area. There were significant positive relationships between temperature and tunicates o

r medusae

with a significantly higher population size observed in summer 2022 than in 2021. The lower abundance and biovolume of zooplankton

mainly of small copepods

in summer 2021 may be related to the larger population size of the large jellyfish and the proliferation of green tides. The investigation provided basic data and fundamental insights for achieving a comprehensive understanding of zooplankton community structure and their long-term dynamics.
