摘要

Abstract

The estuarine areas are under frequent influence from freshwater intrusion and ocean currents

in which zooplankton species are diversified and variable as they are sensitive to physio-chemical variations in water. Therefore

understanding the relationships between zooplankton and environmental factors help us know the water quality. To achieve co-existence with species in similar ecological group or habit

they could inevitably alter themselves to fit the ecology and adjust the function according to the competitive exclusion in ecological theory. However

information of the co-existence of dominant species in the Changjiang (Yangtze) River estuary (CRE) and adjacent waters remains scarce. We explored the relationships between dominant zooplankton and environmental factors in the study region in spring-summer from 2016 to 2020

involving particularly the composition of dominant species

ecological groups

their relationships with environmental factors

and co-existence of important species

using the non-multidimensional scale analysis (nMDS) method and redundancy analysis. Results show that

Labidocera euchaeta

and

Tortanus vermiculus

were dominant species in the study scope. The turnover rate of dominant zooplankton was greater (

50%) in spring while the species number was higher in summer. The dominant species were estuarine

offshore

and eurytopic based on the adaptation to salinity. In spring

the ecological groups were dominated by estuarine species

while in summer by estuarine and offshore species. In addition

the nMDS showed that the dominant species in the same ecological group were more dispersed and not prominently clustered; the dominant species were staggered among different ecological groups. The temperature

salinity

dissolved oxygen

and chlorophyll

were the main environmental factors on the distribution of the dominant species in spring

while in summer were dissolved oxygen

temperature

salinity

and pH. The domination of medusae of

Nemopsis bachei

and

Pleurobrachia globosa

in zooplankton community in spring

and the continuous decrease in abundance of

euchaeta

reflected the effects of local climate change. The temperature and salinity changes in different years and the subsequent response of zooplankton reflected the influence of freshwater intrusion and/or ocean currents. Zooplankton in similar ecological habits exhibited the competitive exclusion in terms of co-existence.
