Zusammenfassung |
Calanus sinicus (Copepoda: Calanoida) has a key role in the dynamics of marine food web
and also on fish recruitment in the west Pacific Ocean, particularly in the Yellow Sea, the
East China Sea and the coastal waters of Japan. The spatial distribution of this
copepod can be traced further south such as north and west of Taiwan, Hong Kong,
Hi-Nan Island and Vietnam. To understand the mechanism of how this key species
distributes spatially and temporally, two long-term monitoring programs of the
planktonic copepods have been conducted since 1998. The spatio-temporal distribution
pattern of this copepod in the studied areas showed a clear relationship between the
intrusions of cold-water mass of the China Coastal Currents (CCC) during the northeast
monsoons into north and west Taiwan thus transporting this copepod further south with
high concentrations. Calanus sinicus can be considered a biological tracer of CCC
during NE monsoon originating from the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea to the
north and west of Taiwan and further south up to Hong Kong, Hi-Nan and Vietnam. |
