Nevertheless, for the evaluation of the integrated role of copepod assemblages in the entire lake ecosystem, their life cycle stages fluctuations are essential. It was not done in previous reports. Therefore, long term analysis of the cyclopoid copepods life stages dynamics in Lake Kinneret was carried out. Due to information availability, two complementary methods of density concentrations were evaluated for two consecutive data sets: 1) 1969-1985 numerical (No/L) documentation of life cycle stages of nauplii (I - III and III - V), copepodites (I, II, III, IV, V) and adults;2) 1969-2002 monthly averages of wet biomass density (g/m<sup>2</sup>) of zooplankton major groups combined with metabolic rates. nauplii densities represent June-August peaks and older stages spring decline and high levels during summer-early winter. Polynomial Regressions between Numerical annual averages of predator and Herbivore stages as well as young vs. older life stages indicate significant relations. During winter-spring season, temperatures are optimal for cyclopoid growth as a result of the high efficiency of metabolic activity and the low pressure of fish predation. The high rate of metabolism and intensive fish predation in summer enhance low densities of adult cyclopoids.展开更多

The main objective of this study was to assess the variability of nycthemeral fauna in relation to the sampling methods using two different types of nets namely,WP2 net and Neuston net along the two study sites, i.e., the Gulf of Aqaba and the northern Red Sea. Zooplankton was sampled vertically using a standard WP2 net from a depth of 200 m to the surface, whereas zooneuston was made using a standard Neuston net from a depth of 0–10 cm of the water surface. Total zooplankton density was maximum during night time((617.83 ± 201.84) ind./m^3) at the Gulf of Aqaba and total zooneuston was maximum during night at the northern Red Sea((60.94±29.48) ind./m^3), respectively. The most abundant taxa were Copepoda, Gastropoda, Bivalva, Chaetognatha, Tunicata and Ostracoda. The abundance was almost 50% higher at night time at both the Gulf of Aqaba and the northern Red Sea. Overall, 30 taxa covering 10 phyla and 27 taxa covering 8 phyla were recorded in the Gulf of Aqaba and the northern Red Sea.展开更多
