Distribution, abundance, and realized niches of meroplankton by two different mesh size nets during spring 2017 in the Southern Yellow Sea, China
Meroplankton play a crucial role in both benthic and pelagic ecosystems. Existing quantitative research on estimating the quantities of meroplankton groups is both underrepresented and inaccurate. To investigate and evaluate the influence of varying mesh sizes (505 mu m and 160 mu m) on the sampling...

Meroplankton play a crucial role in both benthic and pelagic ecosystems. Existing quantitative research on estimating the quantities of meroplankton groups is both underrepresented and inaccurate.

Our study revealed a total of 12 meroplankton groups, with 9 groups identified in the 505-mu m mesh nets and 11 groups in the 160-mu m mesh nets.
