Short-term changes in abundance of zooplankton (with notes on a swarm of Appendicularia) in Ambon Bay, Indonesia

Zooplankton has an essential role in estuarine environments and serves as a food source for various fish and other benthic planktivorous organisms. Coastal zooplankton composition, abundance, and distribution are affected by oceanographic parameters, e.g., salinity, temperature, productivity, water...

Summary:Zooplankton has an essential role in estuarine environments and serves as a food source for various fish and other benthic planktivorous organisms. Coastal zooplankton composition, abundance, and distribution are affected by oceanographic parameters, e.g., salinity, temperature, productivity, water mass circulation, and monsoon influence. Phytoplankton assemblages were investigated (Dwiono & Rahayu 1984; Wagey 2002; Pello et al 2014; Serihollo et al 2015), and the dynamics of toxic species (Mizushima et al 2007; Likumahua 2013; Sidabutar et al 2016; Kesaulya et al 2022). Besides that, the zooplankton populations and abundance in Ambon Bay was determined by Yusuf (1979), Mulyadi (2011), and Mulyadi and Saputra (2019). [...]we expected that revealing the dynamic abundance of zooplankton in Ambon Bay coastal water will have a significant contribution to support marine pelagic fisheries management.
