The response of zooplankton to the ecological environment in Daya Bay is unclear under the influence of both climate changes and anthropogenic activities on a seasonal to inter-annual scale. Based on monthly surveys and historical data, we found the zooplankton

Egg production, daily ration, and growth efficiency in Sagitta crassa Tokioka are described along with the morphological characteristics of the ovary and body during laboratory observations. Feeding by S. crassa in small containers containing 50 or 100

Trophic structure of zooplankton community can effectively reflect the ecosystem health and the influence of anthropogenic disturbances. The Daya Bay is a semi-closed coastal bay under intensive anthropogenic impacts in northern South China Sea. Spatial

Daya Bay is a eutrophic coastal region with dynamic physico-chemical conditions influenced by terrestrial inputs and seawater intrusion. Zooplankton is a crucial trophic intermediary for energy transfer and fishery resources. In this study, we assessed

This study aims to examine spatial and temporal variations of zooplankton species composition, density and biomass distribution and community structure, based on the data obtained from three separate cruises carried out in November 1997, April and July
