Abstract Zooplankton phenological shifts may affect energy transfer through pelagic food web and up to fisheries, but few studies have compared zooplankton phenology across a wide latitudinal range of water temperatures. We examined the variations at four sites along gradient from Bay Biscay [Bilbao Urdaibai (BU)], English Channel (Plymouth; L4), North Sea [Stonehaven (SH)] 1999 2013. taxa showed interannual that were opposite in direction between southernmost BU northernmost SH sites. The East Atlantic pattern was climate teleconnection best related variations. Among local variables , salinity changes as opposed those SH. Locally, chlorophyll most relevant temperature L4. While we did see some imprints causing expected directions shifts, i.e. towards earlier appearance spring later autumn warm years, these patterns by no means clear-cut. dominant role driving variation suggested seems be obscured biotic climatic controls acting differently our environmental gradient.

Abstract Contribution of latitude, distance offshore and environmental factors to variations in zooplankton assemblages across the Northeast Atlantic Shelves Province, from Bay Biscay [Bilbao 35 (B35) Urdaibai (U35)] English Channel (Plymouth L4; L4) North Sea (Stonehaven; SH), were assessed mainly by redundancy analysis. For coarse groups latitude explained main between-site differences, meroplankton contributed more than holoplankton. Latitudinal differences best indicated contrasting abundances cirripede larvae doliolids (most abundant at lowest sites) bryozoan polychaete highest site). Doliolids indicators temperature-mediated latitudinal differences. The interaction between or salinity phytoplankton biomass smaller percentages variability. copepod cladoceran genera reflected oceanic influence, with presence Corycaeus Oncaea L4, likely related higher influence off-shelf water intrusions, neritic Acartia dominating SH, U35 B35. Podon Evadne, which decreased south north, latitude-related driven temperature. Instances where a single species (e.g. clausi) dominated showed common relationships temperature, consistent thermal niche. Differences co-generic dominance sites depicted gradient.

Changes in were assessed by multivariate analyses taxa abundances changes descriptors alpha, beta, gamma diversity. most evident occurred at upper reaches estuary Bilbao, where an abundant less diverse brackish community, dominated NIS, A.

Sixteen years (2005–2020) of zooplankton monitoring in the Bay Marseille (N-W Mediterranean Sea) are analyzed relation to physical, meteorological, climatic and biotic data. Samples were collected every two weeks by a vertical haul (0–55 m) 200 μm plankton net. Different indices characterizing mesozooplankton compared: biomass dry weight four size fractions between 2000 μm; abundances whole 13 main taxonomic groups defined from imagery; seasonal onset timing each group; other types indices: first characterized diversity based on abundance data, second was derived spectra shape. The clearest pattern environmental compartment an overall decreasing trend nutrients, shifts phytoplankton metrics (i.e. structure particulate organic matter), changes winter conditions increasing temperatures, precipitation NAO). Interannual patterns community were: (i) decrease total (ii) for fractions, with earlier 1000–2000 fraction (in 2008); (iii) reduced dominance copepods (calanoids oithonoids) concomitant increase (crustaceans, pteropods, chaetognaths, salps) which induced higher diversity; (iv) shift towards smaller sizes 2009, when decreased, larger 2013 along increased later phenology some variables salps.

This study describes the phytoplankton community in sheltered euhaline waters of Basque coast (southeastern Bay Biscay). Phytoplankton composition, cell size, abundance, biomass and presence potentially toxic taxa, together with chlorophyll a, nutrients hydrographic optical conditions were measured, from August 2016 to 2017, Mutriku port, main aim assessing suitability as a food resource for bivalves. The water column showed typical environmental marine waters, no significant nutrient enrichment caused by anthropogenic pressures. Haptophytes represented greatest contribution abundance (31–47%), diatoms dominant group terms (52–79%), which could favour mussel growth due their high fatty acid content. In addition, size structure was suitable ingestion, since predominant 2–20 µm. Regarding phytoplankton, genera that pose risk human health those affect negatively physiology survival considered. Altogether, ten taxa identified, contributing less than 5% total Mutriku. However, median concentration low (0.5 µg L−1), reflecting oligotrophic area. Therefore, even if composition be favourable bivalve aquaculture, values are compared other zones production.

Cetaceans adjust their distribution and abundance to encountered conditions across years seasons, but we poorly understand such small-scale changes for many species, especially in winter. Crucial challenges confront some populations during this season, as the high levels of fisheries-induced mortality faced by common dolphin ( Delphinus delphis ) Northeast Atlantic shelves. For understanding winter fine-scale dynamics is crucial. We aimed identify drivers winters 2020 2021, with a focus on determining lag between oceanographic distribution. The were related temporal delays specific nature cascading effects that processes had trophic chain. By most important lags distributions, shed light understood intrusions dolphins within coastal waters winter: they displayed strong preference coastal-shelf front extensively followed its spatial variations, overall densities increasing over period peaking March–April. results presented here provide invaluable information should inform management decisions help reduce unsustainable mortalities species by-catch fisheries.
