The various biological compartments of the Belgian coastal zone of the North Sea were studied since 1971. The synthesis of available data on carbon cycling includes phytoplankton biomass and activities (particulate and dissolved primary production, respiration) , zooplankton biomass and activities (grazing, respiration) and planktonic and benthic microbial heterotrophic activities. These various carbon flux estimates allow the development of an overall budget of carbon cycling. This budget shows the importance of microbial (planktonic and benthic) heterotrophs versus zooplankton in the utilization of primary production. Comparison with literature data suggests that this could be a general feature of coastal, as opposed to open sea ecosystems. |

The annual cycle of the Copepods, Cladocera, Appendicularians, Chaetognatha and Cnidaria has been observed in a coastal area in front of Boulogne-sur-Mer. Four species of Copepods amount to some 70% of the whole zooplankton. These herbivorous animals become especially abundant during the phytoplankton blooms with yield which seems to be more important during the autumn than during the spring. Yearly the Appendicularians offer four maxima agreeing with the transport of patches by the currents. The Chaetognatha are only present during the autumn. The cycle of Cladocera is described with respect to their fecundity. The Ctenaria show blooms succeeding those of herbivorous animals. The study of relations between the zooplankton trophic levels suggests that, in... |
