“…In contrast to the Amundsen Gulf during the IPY, a clear seasonal pattern was observed in the production of the small cyclopoid Oithona similis in the western Arctic and central Barents Sea (Arashkevich et al 2002;Ashjian et al 2003). The start of the period of highest abundances of cyclopoid nauplii coincided with the phytoplankton bloom although young stages indicative of reproduction for Oithona similis were also observed in winter in these regions.…”

As part of the Canadian contribution to the International Polar Year (IPY), several major international research programs have focused on offshore arctic marine ecosystems. The general goal of these projects was to improve our understanding of how the response of arctic marine ecosystems to climate warming will alter food web structure and ecosystem services provided to Northerners. At least four key findings from these projects relating to arctic heterotrophic food web, pelagic-benthic coupling and biodiversity have emerged: (1) Contrary to a long-standing paradigm of dormant ecosystems during the long arctic winter, major food web components showed relatively high level of winter activity, well before the spring release of ice algae and subsequent phytoplankton bloom. Such phenological plasticity among key secondary producers like zooplankton may thus narrow the risks of Climatic Change

“…Large phytoplankton cells, such as diatoms and dinoflagellates, are the primary food of zooplankton, the biomass of which is dominated by the large suspension feeders Calanus glacialis and C. hyperboreus in all arctic seas (Arashkevich et al 2002;e.g. Auel and Hagen 2002;Darnis et al 2008).…”

“…Significant amounts of research have been conducted on the effects of season and water quality on aquatic community (Arashkevich et al, 2002;KeithRoach et al, 2002;Martin-Cereceda et al, 2002;Jea et al, 2003;Reiss and Kroncke, 2004;Bode et al, 2005).

“…Ongoing plankton monitoring programmes worldwide (some have now been running for more than 50 years, e. g. CalCOFI in California, Odate in Japan, Continuous Plankton Recorder in the North Atlantic) will act as sentinels to identify future changes in marine ecosystems (Hays et al 2005). It has been shown that abundance and structure of the zooplankton community display considerable variations on seasonal, interannual, and regional scales (Arashkevich et al 2002). Predictable patterns of biodiversity often occur in freshwater pelagic communities over yearly cycles in temperate regions of the globe (Bernot et al 2004).…”

Abstract. Knowledge on the expected effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems is defined by three ways. On the one hand, long-term observation in the field serves as a basis for the possible changes; on the other hand, the experimental approach may bring valuable pieces of information to the research field. The expected effects of climate change cannot be studied by empirical approach; rather mathematical models are useful tools for this purpose. Within this study, the main findings of field observations and their implications for future were summarized; moreover, the modelling approaches were discussed in a more detailed way. Some models try to describe the variation of physical parameters in a given aquatic habitat, thus our knowledge on their biota is confined to the findings based on our present observations. Others are destined for answering special issues related to the given water body. Complex ecosystem models are the keys of our better understanding of the possible effects of climate change. Basically, these models were not created for testing the influence of global warming, rather focused on the description of a complex system (e. g. a lake) involving environmental variables, nutrients. However, such models are capable of studying climatic changes as well by taking into consideration a large set of environmental variables. Mostly, the outputs are consistent with the assumptions based on the findings in the field. Since synthetized models are rather difficult to handle and require quite large series of data, the authors proposed a more simple modelling approach, which is capable of examining the effects of global warming. This approach includes weather dependent simulation modelling of the seasonal dynamics of aquatic organisms within a simplified framework.
