摘要

Abstract

To understand how hydrological and biological factors affect near- to off-shore variations in the siphonophore community

we sampled zooplankton at 82 stations in the northern South China Sea during summer

winter

and spring. Forty-one species of siphonophore were collected by vertical trawling. The species richness of siphonophores increased from the nearshore to offshore regions in all three seasons of investigation

with maximum richness in summer and minimum richness in winter. The abundance of siphonophores was also higher in summer than in spring and winter

concentrated in the nearshore region in the warm season and scattered in the offshore region in the cold season. Four siphonophore groups were classified according to the frequency of occurrence: nearshore

near-offshore

offshore

and tropical pelagic. Among them

the nearshore group had higher abundance nearshore compared with the offshore. The tropical pelagic group had higher species number offshore than nearshore. Spatial and temporal fluctuations in taxonomic composition and abundance of siphonophores were due to the influence of the coastal upwelling and surface ocean currents of the South China Sea

driven by the East Asia monsoonal system.
