“…The present study also revealed that the zooplankton composition was similar between some stations and these stations were considered sharing a similar habitat (Table 4). A similar observation was also found by Favier and Winkler (2014) at St Lawrence estuarine transition zone, Chen and Liu (2015) in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea and Bhat et al (2014) at tropical wetland India.…”

Abstract. Aiman WM, Yusoff FM, Arshad A, Kamal AHM, Ismail J, Idris MH, Karim NU, Asif AA. 2020. Distribution of zooplankton community in Toli shad (Tenualosa toli) habitats, Sarawak, Malaysia. Biodiversitas 21: 4022-4033. The river ecosystems of Sarawak has been identified as important-spawning ground for economically important Toli shad (Tenualosa toli) fisheries. In these river ecosystems, zooplankton serves as a secondary producer to the different types of fish larvae including Toli shad. The productivity and biomass of zooplankton are important factors to control the production of higher trophic level organisms like fish larvae and fishes in different stages including T. toli larvae. In this viewpoint, the composition and abundance of zooplankton were investigated at 5 (five) sampling stations (considered to be spawning and nursing areas of Toli shad) at Batang Lupar and Batang Sadong estuaries from July 2016 to June 2017. A total of 29 zooplankton taxa were recorded that belong to 14 major groups comprised of Copepoda (Arthropoda), Crustacean nauplii (Arthropoda), Fish larvae (Chordata), Mollusca (Mollusca), Luciferidae (Arthropoda), Cnidaria (Cnidaria), Ostracoda (Arthropoda), Cirripedia (Arthropoda), Polychaete larvae (Annelida), Chaetognatha (Chaetognatha), Appendicularia (Chordata), Amphipoda (Arthropoda), Echinodermata larvae (Echinodermata) and Cladoceran (Arthropoda). Copepod was dominant group of zooplankton (82.40-94.41%) at all stations, contributing 477.37-25921.89 ind/m3 and 88.38% of total abundance. The second highest was crustacean larvae (2.45-9.38%) in all stations, contributing 0-2391.7 ind/m3 and 5.88% of total abundance. Zooplankton abundance was higher at downstream station 1 (8460.72 ind/m³) followed by station 2 (5479.80 indi/m³), station 3 (4571.95 ind/m³), station 4 (4394.20 ind/m³) and upstream station 5 (4156.73 ind/m³). Canonical Correspondence Analysis showed that the abundance of copepods was highly influenced by total turbidity and nitrate in the riverine and estuarine ecosystems. Abundance of zooplankton was relatively higher (9549.31 ind/m³) during the post-monsoon and lower (3534.56 ind/m³) during the southwest monsoon.

“…The northern ECS and the Yellow Sea interact with YSWC and coastal water, varying with seasons (Ichikawa et al, 2002;Lee et al,2007;Chen 2009). Zooplankton assemblages and water mass distributions are associated (Chen et al,2015). Zooplankton communities between the Yellow Sea and northern ECS showed 60% dissimilarity in fall (Chen et al,2015), while those between two seas were similar in study.…”

Aim:Methodology: Results:Interpretation: Key words:Zooplankton are distributed by hydrographic factors such as temperature and salinity. The research aims to investigate the distribution patterns of zooplankton and indicator species of water bodies, and to understand the relationship between zooplankton distribution and water bodies in Korean waters in winter.Zooplankton, samples were collected and temperatures and salinities were recorded at 130 stations around Korean peninsula in the Yellow Sea and the northern East China Sea (ECS), using a Bongo net and CTD in winter, 2016. Research areas using K-mean clustering based on temperatures and salinities were divided into six water bodies:the North Korea Cold Current (NKCC), the East Korea Warm Current (EKWC), the Jeju Warm Current (JWC), the Yellow Sea Warm Current (YSWC), the Yellow Sea (Y1), and mixed water. The indicator indices for water bodies were calculated using INSPAN (Indicator Species Analysis).NKCC, YSWC and Y1 were represented by high proportions of cold water species of 81, 44 and 41 species, respectively, while EKWC and JWC were relatively dominated by warm water species of 99 and 102 species. The water bodies of Yellow Sea and the northern ECS were greatly similar, but the East/Japan Sea was significantly distinguished. With the Indicator value and distribution, indicator species for water bodies were identified: Scolecithricella minorin the NKCC, Candacia bipinnata, Clausocalanus furcatus, and Pleuromamma gracilisin the EKWC, Scolecithricella longispinosa and Euchaeta plana in the JWC, Centropages abdominalis in the Y1.Distributions of zooplanktons and the similarity of community structures were determined by the interaction of water bodies. Zooplankton species can be used as indicator of water bodies because of their dependence on ocean currents.East Sea, Indicator species analysis, Zooplankton

“…The spatial and temporal distribution of zooplankton communities fluctuate in response to environmental changes in marine ecosystems, such as variations in temperature and salinity [9,10]. Therefore, zooplankton are useful bioindicators for detecting environmental changes in the marine ecosystem [11][12][13][14][15][16]. However, the investigation of zooplankton communities using traditional morphological identification requires high taxonomic knowledge as well as considerable time and labor [17].…”

Zooplankton communities are useful bioindicators that can provide information on the changes occurring in marine ecosystems. Therefore, investigation of zooplankton communities in marine and coastal national parks is essential. However, the surveys of zooplankton communities using morphological identification require considerable time and labor. Metabarcoding is a practical alternative that can detect various taxa simultaneously. In this study, metabarcoding was newly applied along with the traditional morphological identification to establish a method for zooplankton community survey in the Marine and Coastal National Park areas of Korea. By comparing the results of these two identification methods, the strengths and limitations of metabarcoding were verified with the zooplankton communities appearing in these areas. The sensitive detection capability of metabarcoding enabled the identification of potential bioindicator taxa associated with external factors (e.g., water temperature, salinity, topography, and chlorophyll a concentration) in these national parks. We propose the use of metabarcoding for efficient surveys of mesozooplankton communities in the Marine and Coastal National Parks to establish monitoring of bioindicator taxa. It is also necessary to continuously search for taxa with high research value in these national parks using metabarcoding. Establishing an ongoing monitoring system that employs this approach can provide an effective tool for managing marine ecosystems in the Marine and Coastal National Parks.
