In the mesohaline zone of the Westerschelde estuary <i>Eurytemora affinis</i> is the dominant copepod, demonstrating large biomass values nearly throughout the year. In the meso-polyhaline Lake Veere <i>Acartia tonsa</i> is abundant, mainly during summer. In spring a small population of <i>Eurytemora americana</i> is found. The tidal estuary harboured far denser copepod populations throughout the year than the stagnant brackish lake water. The average yearly copepodid + adult biomass in the Westerschelde estuary was approx. 850 mg/m³ (wet weight), in Lake Veere approx. 130 mg/m³. Temporarily low oxygen values did not influence negatively the copepod populations in the Westerschelde estuary. The seasonal distribution of... |
