Zooplankton

Zooplankton, on the other hand, can respond within a year, while microorganisms generally exhibit large and rapid (within days or weeks) variations in population size, which can make it difficult to detect long-term trends in abundance.

Gaps in knowledge and research needs for Arctic marine systems 2009

Zooplankton species are limited or even absent in arctic lakes because of low temperatures and low nutrient availability.

The Arctic~ geography, climate, ecology, and people 2009

Zooplankton densities may be affected by advection in certain shelf locations such as the Barents and Chukchi Seas.

Future change in processes and impacts on Arctic biota 2009

Zooplankton are often particularly vulnerable and display major shifts in survival and community structure in the presence of small changes in salt levels.

Secondary salinization 2009

Zooplankton are a critical element in the bottom of the world's food chain as well as its oxygen cycle.

Sea of Japan large marine ecosystem 2008

Zooplankton are small protists or metazoans (e.g. crustaceans and other animals) that feed on the phytoplankton.

Plankton 2008

Zooplankton show particular sensitivity to light as they undergo daily migrations up and down the water column to stay in the best light conditions and to avoid visually hunting predators.

Crustacea 2008

Zooplankton composition shows a high abundance of Calanoid Copepoda, Chaetognatha, Salpidae and Hydromedusae.
