Do copepods inhabit hypersaline waters worldwide? A short review and discussion

Andean hypersaline lakes in the Atacama Desert, northern Chile: Between lithium exploitation and unique biodiversity conservation

“…Such knowledge is required to implement integral management and conservation measures to mitigate adverse anthropogenic or climate impacts ( Figure 2). Different copepods species also control Artemia abundance, at lower or high salinities (Anufriieva, 2015), as reported by the long-term studies of salt lakes in Crimea, Ukraine (Belmonte et al, 2012;Shadrin, Yakovenko, & Anufriieva, 2019) as well as waterbirds, as explained previously for GSL, and parasites (Redón, Amat, Sánchez, & Green, 2015). The role of Artemia becomes relevant in the food web as the animal regulates the presence of other food items, for example, it grazes on bacteria and phytoplankton biomass to obtain energy and nutrients to complete its life cycle under the stringent conditions that challenge survival and reproduction.…”

“…While some species feed on Artemia, others have a bill adapted to feed a range of small organisms found in shallow waters. Thus, brine shrimp presence and abundance in a given brine depend on waterbirds and the interaction with many other species or regulators, including other invertebrates (Anufriieva, 2015;Shadrin et al, 2019) and parasites (Redón et al, 2015). Therefore, long-term monitoring of the crustacean Artemia should help to get a more comprehensive picture of the ecosystem dynamics considering its crucial role in the trophic ecology of these lagoons as well as to predict F I G U R E 2 A conceptual framework for conserving hypersaline lagoons and waterbird habitat in Salar de Atacama in a scenario of increasing lithium exploitation from brine and climate change cascading effects at different trophic levels.…”

Salinity influence on chironomid larvae (Diptera, Chironomidae) in the Crimean hypersaline lakes

“…В Крыму авторы находили хирономид при наиболее высокой солё-ности только в водоёмах, где наблюдалось «цветение». Ранее этот феномен отме-чен для хирономид Tanytarsus barbitarsis Freeman, 1961 в водоёмах Австралии при солёности до 177 г/л (Kokkinn, 1986) и копепод в гиперсолёных озёрах Крыма (Ануфриева, 2016;Shadrin, Anufriieva, 2013 b;Anufriieva, 2015). Микроводоросли могут обеспечивать хирономид не только необходимой энергией, но и осмолитами (Shadrin et al, 2017).…”
