First report on the contribution of small-sized species to the copepod community structure of the southern Patagonian shelf (Argentina, 47-55°S)

The copepod community structure, with special emphasis on small-sized species, was studied over the southern Patagonian shelf in late summer 2004, applying the first plankton sampling in the region with a fine-mesh (66 μm) net. The key role of the copepods Drepanopus forcipatus and Calanus australis...

description The copepod community structure, with special emphasis on small-sized species, was studied over the southern Patagonian shelf in late summer 2004, applying the first plankton sampling in the region with a fine-mesh (66 μm) net. The key role of the copepods Drepanopus forcipatus and Calanus australis was confirmed, but also the high abundance and frequency of occurrence of the microcopepods Oithona helgolandica and Microsetella norvegica and of the medium-sized copepod Ctenocalanus vanus were revealed. Copepod community structure was nearly homogenous over the entire study area. Drepanopus forcipatus, O. helgolandica and M. norvegica were identified as the typical species of the region, although secondarily C. australis and Oithona atlantica also contributed significantly to community similarity across the area. The study of interspecific relationships of dominant copepods indicated that D. forcipatus and C. australis were associated positively with O. helgolandica, while C. vanus, and M. norvegica constituted a separate assemblage with Clausocalanus brevipes and O. atlantica. The importance of fine-mesh-size nets for collecting the smaller size fractions of mesozooplankton and for accurately portraying the mesozooplankton assemblage structure in the area is stressed by this study. La estructura de la comunidad de copépodos, con especial énfasis en las especies de pequeño tamaño, se estudió en la plataforma patagónica austral durante el verano tardío de 2004, a partir del primer muestreo de plancton en la región con una red de malla fina (66 μm). Se confirmó el rol clave de las especies Drepanopus forcipatus y Calanus australis, pero al mismo tiempo se evidenció la gran abundancia y frecuencia de ocurrencia de los microcopépodos Oithona helgolandica y Microsetella norvegica y del copépodo de tamaño medio Ctenocalanus vanus. La estructura de la comunidad de copépodos fue aproximadamente homogénea en toda el área de estudio. Drepanopus forcipatus, O. helgolandica y M. norvegica resultaron las especies típicas de la región y, aunque secundariamente, C. australis y Oithona atlantica también contribuyeron significativamente a la similitud en el área. El estudio de las interrelaciones entre las especies dominantes indicó que D. forcipatus y C. australis estuvieron positivamente asociados con O. helgolandica, mientras que C. vanus y M. norvegica conformaron otra asociación con Clausocalanus brevipes y O. atlantica. A partir de este estudio se enfatiza la importancia de las redes de malla fina para colectar las fracciones de tamaño más pequeñas del mesozooplancton y para describir correctamente la estructura de la comunidad mesozooplanctónica en el área.

The key role of the copepods Drepanopus forcipatus and Calanus australis was confirmed, but also the high abundance and frequency of occurrence of the microcopepods Oithona helgolandica and Microsetella norvegica and of the medium-sized copepod Ctenocalanus vanus were revealed. Copepod community structure was nearly homogenous over the entire study area. Drepanopus forcipatus, O. helgolandica and M. norvegica were identified as the typical species of the region, although secondarily C. australis and Oithona atlantica also contributed significantly to community similarity across the area. The study of interspecific relationships of dominant copepods indicated that D. forcipatus and C. australis were associated positively with O. helgolandica, while C. vanus, and M. norvegica constituted a separate assemblage with Clausocalanus brevipes and O. atlantica. The importance of fine-mesh-size nets for collecting the smaller size fractions of mesozooplankton and for accurately portraying the mesozooplankton assemblage structure in the area is stressed by this study. La estructura de la comunidad de copépodos, con especial énfasis en las especies de pequeño tamaño, se estudió en la plataforma patagónica austral durante el verano tardío de 2004, a partir del primer muestreo de plancton en la región con una red de malla fina (66 μm). Se confirmó el rol clave de las especies Drepanopus forcipatus y Calanus australis, pero al mismo tiempo se evidenció la gran abundancia y frecuencia de ocurrencia de los microcopépodos Oithona helgolandica y Microsetella norvegica y del copépodo de tamaño medio Ctenocalanus vanus. La estructura de la comunidad de copépodos fue aproximadamente homogénea en toda el área de estudio. Drepanopus forcipatus, O. helgolandica y M. norvegica resultaron las especies típicas de la región y, aunque secundariamente, C. australis y Oithona atlantica también contribuyeron significativamente a la similitud en el área. El estudio de las interrelaciones entre las especies dominantes indicó que D. forcipatus y C. australis estuvieron positivamente asociados con O. helgolandica, mientras que C. vanus y M. norvegica conformaron otra asociación con Clausocalanus brevipes y O. atlantica. A partir de este estudio se enfatiza la importancia de las redes de malla fina para colectar las fracciones de tamaño más pequeñas del mesozooplancton y para describir correctamente la estructura de la comunidad mesozooplanctónica en el área.
