WP3: Marine Pelagic Fauna
Leader: dr Sławomir Kwaśniewski
Objective: to study taxonomic, size and biomass structures of mesozooplankton communities from ecosystems functioning under different temperature regimes.
The research questions:
-
What are the taxonomic composition and size/biomass structures of mesozooplankton in the pelagic ecosystems functioning under different temperature regimes?
-
What is the influence of temperature on body size of Calanus finmarchicus and C. glacialis living in different temperature regimes?
-
What is the influence of the studied environmental factors on taxonomic and size/biomass structures of mesozooplankton communities?
-
What are the consequences of different taxonomic and biomass/size structures of mesozooplankton communities for their role in matter and energy fluxes through the pelagic ecosystems?
