Table_2_Differential Impact of the Khatanga and Lena (Laptev Sea) Runoff on the Distribution and Grazing of Zooplankton.docx
The ecosystems of the Arctic Ocean and their expected changes in a context of Global climate processes are crucially dependent on the freshwater input. The freshwater signal is assumed to be the main structuring factor for the marine fauna on the shallow shelf of the Siberian Arctic seas. The Laptev...

The ecosystems of the Arctic Ocean and their expected changes in a context of Global climate processes are crucially dependent on the freshwater input. The freshwater signal is assumed to be the main structuring factor for the marine fauna on the shallow shelf of the Siberian Arctic seas. The Laptev Sea, as a part of the world’s widest continental shelves surrounding the Arctic Ocean, is a key area for understanding the land–ocean interaction in high latitude regions. The largest freshwater input is provided by the deltaic Lena river followed by the estuarine Khatanga river. The plumes of these rivers differ considerably in their hydrophysical characteristics, suggesting differential impacts on ecosystems of the adjacent shelf. The key component of pelagic ecosystems is zooplankton, which transfers energy from primary producers to higher trophic levels and modifies sedimentations processes. This study is focused on the influence of river discharge on zooplankton in the Laptev Sea at the end of productive season. We studied zooplankton biomass, species composition, distribution patterns of the dominant species and assessed herbivorous feeding rates and grazing pressure of these species along a transect from the inner Khatanga Gulf northward to the continental slope, and a transect in the Lena plume influenced area in August-September 2017.
