“…Almost a century later, P. schmackeri was found near the Rio Una do Prelado River on the Brazilian coast (Rocha, 1985). It became established in this region and spread from Guanabara Bay to Rio Grande do Sul (Resgalla & Montú, 1993;Marazzo, 2002;Domingos-Nunes & Resgalla, 2012;Monteiro-Ribas et al, 2012). Moreover, sporadic records are reported in Aqaba Bay (Red Sea), in Madagascar (Indian Ocean) (Onbe, 1999) and in Port Tawfiq at the southern entrance to the Suez Canal (Gurney, 1927).…”

Pleopis schmackeri, a podonid cladoceran not previously recorded in the Mediterranean Sea, was found in the İskenderun Bay for the first time. The samples were collected seasonally during 2012-2015 in the coastal area of İskenderun Bay using a WP-2 zooplankton net (200 µm). Six cladoceran species were found in total, and Penilia avirostris, Pseudevadne tergestina and Evadne spinifera constituted the bulk of the population, while the contribution of P. schmackeri was very low. Although only a single individual was observed in July 2012, the abundance and frequency of P. schmackeri increased in the following years, reaching 25.10 ind.m -3 in 2015. Thus, P. schmackeri could be considered as established in İskenderun Bay; however, it seems that it did not affect the distribution of other cladoceran species in the area up to now. P. schmackeri could have entered in İskenderun Bay either as a Lessepsian migrant or by ballast waters of commercial ships.

“…The average temperature of the lagoon recorded in this study is quite high when compared with other Cladocera studies (Rose et al 2004;Miyashita et al 2011;Baker, 1938;Ramirez, 1981). However, high Spatio-temporal variation of Cladocera other works; by Monteiro-Ribas et al (2013) in Rio das Ostras, Rio de Janeiro.…”

“…In a marine environment the Cladocera Penilia avirostris Dana, 1849 is one of the most abundant zooplankton species in tropical, subtropical and temperate waters (Rose et al, 2004), while the species Evadne spinifera P.E. Müller, 1867, Pseudevadne tergestina Claus, 1877, Pleopis polyphemoides (Leuckart, 1859) and Pleopis schmackeri (Poppe, 1889) are also common in tropical regions (Ramirez, 1981;Monteiro-Ribas et al, 2013). In addition to food availability, temperature and salinity are some of the main factors that may affect the spatiotemporal distribution of zooplankton (Wooldridge and Deyzel, 2009;Monteiro-Ribas et al, 2006).…”

Spatio-temporal variability in the Cladocera assemblage of a subtropical hypersaline lagoon

Cladocera represent an important zooplankton group because of their seasonal prominence in terms of abundance and their contribution in controlling primary production (phytoplankton). On a global scale, there are few studies on Cladocera in hypersaline environments. The present work aims to evaluate the spatio-temporal variation of the Cladocera assemblage across a salinity gradient in the habitats of the Araruama Lagoon. Samples were collected in random months over a period of four years at 12 fixed stations in the Araruama Lagoon using a WP2 plankton net equipped with a flow meter. Our results do not reveal significant influence of the tide and seasonal variation as factors affecting the Cladocera assemblage. Five Cladocera species were found in the Araruama Lagoon, only in stations 11 and 12 where they reached an average of 1,799 ± 3,103 ind. m-3. The mean of the Shannon Diversity Index was 0.45 ± 0.2. The species that stood out in terms of frequency and abundance were: Penilia avirostris (frequency of occurrence: 71%), followed by Pseudevadne tergestina (41%). The same species also stood out in terms of relative abundance, Penilia avirostris (87%) and Pseudevadne tergestina (11%). The absence of Cladocera in the innermost parts of the lagoon suggests that their entrance to these locations is possibly inhibited by the salinity and temperature gradient of the lagoon, being the main factors influencing the dynamics of the Cladocera assemblages.
