The copepod assemblage (Copepoda: Crustacea) on the inner continental shelf adjacent to Camamu Bay, northeast Brazil

Abstract: The copepod assemblage on the inner continental shelf adjacent to the coastal system of Camamu Bay (state of Bahia, Brazil) is described in relation to hydrographic conditions, during the wet and dry seasons of 2004. The zooplankton samples were obtained in vertical tows using a net with 200 µm mesh size. Temperature and salinity were measured, and the total density, frequency and percentage occurrence of the copepod taxa were determined for each sampling period. The highest densities were observed at the entr… Show more

“…Thus, we suggest that the intensification of the trade winds caused an increase in the intensity of the waves and resuspension of the bottom, considering the benthic habit during the day and planktonic behavior at night of C. americana specie (Cohen and Forward, 2002). In several studies that performed daytime sampling this species is cited (Dias and Bonecker, 2009;Dias et al, 2010), but rarely with high abundance (as recorded in the present work). However, high values of abundance have already been recorded for C. americana in nocturnal sampling (Melo et al, 2010;Pessoa et al, 2014).…”

“…Entre abril de 2013 a janeiro de 2014, os valores de salinidade e temperatura indicaram a presença de uma única massa de água denominada Água Tropical que em função da estreita plataforma continental, com cerca de 10 km de extensão (Brandini et al, 1997;Mafalda et al,2004;Dias et al, 2009), avança em direção a costa norte da Bahia atingindo a área de estudo.…”

“…A densidade apresentou um gradiente orientado no sentido costa-talude com uma tendência dos maiores valores ocorrerem nas estações mais próximas à costa e os menores nas mais afastadas. Esse comportamento é comum às regiões marinhas tropicais e já foi registrado para outras regiões da costa brasileira (Lopes et al, 1999;Neumann-Leitão et al, 2008, Dias & Bonecker 2009Campos, 2014). Em ambientes marinhos tropicais é comum que a diversidade seja alta, acompanhada de baixas densidades/biomassa do zooplâncton (Neumann-Leitão et al, 2008).…”
