Abstract—
The field data on the abundance, biomass, age structure, and lipid reserves of the copepod Сalanus euxinus population in deep pelagial and Crimean shelf regions of the Black Sea in November 2017 were analyzed. The abundance and biomass of this species in deep areas (10.2 ± 0.5 × 103 ind./m2 and 7.3 ± 0.5 g/m2, respectively) were similar to the average annual values for seasons with moderate development of planktivorous jellyfish populations. The average abundance and biomass of the copepods were similar to analogous 2016 values when the jellyfish abundance was twice as low. However, in 2017, the denser aggregations of C. euxinus (12.8 ± 1.0 × 103 ind./m2 and 9.8 ± 0.5 g/m2) were found in the central parts of cyclonic circulations, while in 2016, they were recorded more frequently at the peripheries of cyclonic gyres. A structure of the C. euxinus population also changed. In November 2017, the percentage of copepodites I–IV, females and males, increased, whereas the proportion of copepodites V reduced. These changes likely resulted from a later sampling period in 2017, when the C. euxinus population was ready for active reproduction. Sufficient amounts of lipids in copepodites V, decreased oil sac volumes in females, and increased abundance of males in anticyclonic regions are indicative of more favorable trophic conditions for this part of the C. euxinus population and its higher maturity.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
