A simple method for the assay of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARS) activity was modified application in planktonic crustaceans as an index somatic growth. The cladoceran Daphnia magna cultured laboratory and its AARS measured without substrate addition. relationship between enzyme activities animals similar age individual biomass growing at different rates tested. significant found growth terms both protein dry weight.
The Mar Menor hypersaline coastal lagoon has suffered serious degradation in the last three decades attributable to nutrient pollution. In 2015, experienced an intensive bloom of cyanobacteria that triggered a drastic change its ecosystem. Our analyses indicate phytoplankton 2016-2021 did not present seasonal variability pattern; community was mainly dominated by diatoms and punctually reached abundance peaks above 107 cell L-1 along with chlorophyll concentrations exceeding 20 μg L-1....
Based on historical data of abundance, we report evidence changes in zooplankton abundance the 0-200 m layer related to moon cycle confirming that this phenomenon is produced marine environment, similarly one described for freshwater ecosystems. A clear decrease copepodites plus copepods was observed from second fourth quarter when seasonal variability suppressed. During full phase large and micronekton deep scattering layers (DSL) would not reach upper mixed order avoid predation because...

Time series of satellite surface chlorophyll more than 20 years were built for the Spanish Mediterranean waters. Chlorophyll data from SeaWiFS, MODIS-Aqua and VIIRS-Suomi-NPP generated based on locally developed SMED algorithms. Nevertheless, it was necessary to harmonize trends between three different sensors before merging in composite time series. Cluster analysis monthly averages allowed distinguishing four main areas with distinctive seasonal phenological features study region. The...
We obtained growth rates of the copepod Calanus finmarchicus at different locations across North Atlantic between May 1998 and June 2004. Animals were incubated for 2–9 days fed either with natural food assemblages or cultured algae. During this period, we measured both somatic weight-specific (measured as protein change) aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARS) activity. found a highly significant relationship AARS activity in content (R2 = 0.55, P < 0.001). Significant also occurred when was...
Effects of temperature on aspects the life cycle and physiology copepod Calanus helgolandicus (C. helgolandicus) were investigated in laboratory. Development times (DTs) determined for organisms reared individually at 9, 12 15°C under saturated food conditions. While animals successfully from egg to adulthood 15°C, 9°C, all individuals had died prior entering NV. The cohorts fed with a monoculture Prorocentrum micans as saturating monocultures which should represent concentrations...
Variability in the spatial and temporal distribution of mesozooplankton abundance N Alboran Sea (SW Mediterranean) was assessed intermittently from 2010 to 2020, compared with 1992–2000 historical time series data. Total significantly higher coast than shelf slope waters. There were significant differences between 2010–2020 at three zones. Copepods dominated during winter spring, but cladocerans doliolids also became important components community summer autumn. We found increases first...
Abstract Zooplankton play a central role in marine trophic webs, influencing both biogeochemistry and productivity of the oceans. Changes their communities are important indicators overall ecosystem health global change impacts. With increasing exploitation pressures on environment, there is growing need for high-resolution monitoring zooplankton to provide detailed information about seasonal decadal changes at local, regional, scales. This crucial knowledge gathered mainly through long-term...
