| As the composition and physiological activity of zooplankton is mostly controlled by environmental conditions, their measurement in situ may be a suitable tool for monitoring the pelagic system. The digestive enzymes, amylase and trypsin, of the zooplankton of coastal waters of Brittany, have been measured during three years as their levels are related to taxonomic composition and feeding patterns of zooplankton. There is evidence of a well-defined annual cycle of these enzymes related to changes in taxonomic composition and feeding patterns with different characterized phases. Observed variability is analysed and associated with the diversity, the stability and the difference in maturity of ecological conditions in the area. |
