摘要

Abstract

Samples were collected monthly from the sea area around Zhangzi Island

northern Yellow Sea

from July 2009 to June 2010. Vertical net towing was used to examine spatial and temporal variability in zooplankton abundance and biomass. Overall

Calanus sinicus and Saggita crassa were the dominant species found during the study period

while the amphipod Themisto gracilipes was dominant in winter and spring. Vast numbers of the ctenophore species of the genus Beroe were found in October and November. It was not possible to count them

but they constituted a large portion of the total zooplankton biomass. Zooplankton species diversity was highest in October

and species evenness was highest in April. Zooplankton abundance (non-jellyfish) and biomass were highest in June and lowest in August

with annual averages of 131.3 ind./m³ and 217.5 mg/m³

respectively. Water temperature may be responsible for the variations in zooplankton abundance and biomass. Beroe biomass was negatively correlated with other zooplankton abundance. Longterm investigations will be carried out to learn more about the influence of the environment on zooplankton assemblages.
