Year: 2012

Mesozooplankton community and ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi population states were analyzed in coastal waters near Sevastopol in 2004 – 2008. Zooplankton annual dynamics and biodiversity were examined. Mean zooplankton annual abundance and biomass were described with two-peak curves with maximums in spring and autumn. During the research period Copepoda were dominating group and amounted about 70 % of forage zooplankton. In those years in both regions average annual abundance of Paracalanus parvu
