摘要1979年6月和1982年2月在新西兰韦斯特兰近海取样的海洋浮游动物的浓度和种群,被认为是亚热带地区的典型代表。最丰富的沿海物种是桡足类Oithona similis,Acartia ensifera,Paracalanus indicus和Centropages aucklandicus,以及Euphausiid Nyctiphanes australis ;桡足类Clausocalanus pergens在1979年6月丰富。对流过程似乎在这个海岸发挥了重要作用。它们显然是(1)将比观测到的浮游植物浓度所能支持的更大的浮游动物生物量(以梭形海鞘的形式)引入该地区的原因,(2)1979年6月海洋表面桡足类物种的特殊分布,以及(3)旺加努伊海崖附近一些浅海物种浓度的减少。
Abstract Oceanic zooplankton concentrations and populations, off Westland, New Zealand sampled in June 1979 and February 1982, were found to be generally typical of those for subtropical regions. The most abundant coastal species were the copepods Oithona similis, Acartia ensifera, Paracalanus indicus, and Centropages aucklandicus, and the euphausiid Nyctiphanes australis ; the copepod Clausocalanus pergens was abundant in June 1979. Advective processes appear to play an important role on this coast. They are apparently responsible for (1) introducing larger Zooplankton biomass (in the form of Salpa fusiformis) into the area than can be supported by the observed phy‐toplankton concentrations, (2) particular distributions of oceanic surface copepods species in June 1979, and (3) reduction in the concentrations of some neritic species off Wanganui Bluff.
