Calanus sinicus is a dominant copepod in the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the Sea of Japan. A major objective of this thesis is to examine the seasonal occurrence of C. sinicus in coastal oceans of southern China. Samples were collected at seven sampling stations in coastal water off northern Taiwan from November 2000 to March 2002. Outside Port Shelter, Hong Kong, samples were collected at five sampling stations from February 2001 to April 2002. Population density of C. sinicus was always higher in Taiwan than in Hong Kong. In Taiwan, numbers occurred throughout the year and were seasonally abundant. They were most common in winter months. In Hong Kong, a single peak in abundance occurred in March, 2001. Sex ratio among adults varied seasonally in Taiwan. There were usually more females than males. In general，the individuals collected i during the winter were larger than those collected during the summer. Diel vertical migration is a widespread phenomenon that is known to exist in almost all taxa of planktonic organisms. Because phytoplankton is most abundant near the surface, diel vertical migration is often associated with diel feeding rhythm. Diel vertical migration and diel feeding rhythm of Calarms sinicus were studied at two sites located near the northern tip of Taiwan in April and December 2001. The selective advantage of diel vertical migration in late copepodites and adult female of C. sinicus in April was the reduction of mortality by predation. In December, the copepods modified their migration behavior by remaining in the relatively food-rich surface waters when food availability is low. Several protocols based on molecular genetic characters have been successfully applied to marine zooplankton. This thesis also determined if Calarm sinicus populations in the oceans of southern China are derived from populations in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea, molecular approach will be used to examine intraspecific variations in the DNA sequences of C. sinicus specimens collected in coastal waters outside the Changjiang river mouth and off northern tip of Taiwan. The result showed that the Zhejiang-Fujian longshore currents carry C sinicus from the East China Sea into the South China Sea. ii 南中國沿岸海域大中華哲水蚤生態硏究 李嘉倫 摘要 橈足類是屬於甲穀門下的撓足類綱，已知曉的橈足類大約有七千五百種。 大中華哲水蚤是黃海，東中國海和日本海的優勢種類.本論文對南中國沿岸海 域的大中華哲水蚤的生態進行硏究。自2000年11月至2002年3月在台灣北 部沿岸海域及自2001年2月至2002年4月在香港牛尾海外邊的海域採樣站的結 果表明：大中華哲水蚤的在台灣北部的密度大于在香港的密度，在台灣北部是 全年性發生及具季節性豐度，尤在冬季常見，其在香港海域的紀錄只有2001年3 月。成年的大中華哲水蚤的性別比率同樣帶有季節性，但主要由雌性組成。 結果同時表明其在冬季的體長一般都大於夏季的體長。 曰周性垂直遷移現象常見於淡水及海水的浮游動物。由於浮游植物積 聚在水表層，所以，一般會進行日周性垂直遷移的浮游動物，通常是白天棲息在 較深的水層且不進食，晚上再游到水表層進行攝食行爲。本論文對大中華哲水 蛋在台灣北部沿岸海域的日周性垂直遷移現象和其攝食節律進行探討。在 2001年4月的結果表明，大中華哲水蚤的幼生期和成年雌性的垂直遷移是爲了 躲避以目視法捕食的敵人° 在2001年12月，浮游植物的供應量下降，大部份 的大中華哲水蚤停留在水表層尋找食物。 iv 由於不同的分子遺傳標記已成功應用在海洋的浮游動物，所以，本論文 同時利用分子標記以分析南中國沿岸的大中華哲水蚤是否從黃海和東中國海而 來。硏究利用在長江河口和台灣北部沿岸海域的大中華哲水蚤的標本進行 DNA序列分析。結果表明南中國沿岸的大中華哲水S是跟隨浙江和福建沿岸 流從黃海和東中國海而來。 X Acknowledgements I am most grateful to my advisor, Prof. Wong Chong Kim for his supervision and valuable comments during my two years of study.

Abstract Inversions of the origin of replication (ORI) of mitochondrial genomes produce asymmetrical mutational pressures that can cause artefactual clustering in phylogenetic analyses. It is therefore an absolute prerequisite for all molecular evolution studies that use mitochondrial data to account for ORI events in the evolutionary history of their dataset.

The majority of prey items were small crustaceans (of Copepoda and Cirripedia) and diatoms, taxa that are dominant in the environment and have been previously reported as important prey items of Cala- nus. The abundance of sequences attributable to Dinophyta and Chlorophyta was significantly lower in C. sinicus gut contents than in environmental plankton communities, suggesting that C. sinicus avoids prey from these groups. Hy- drozoans were also observed, and aplanochytrids (Labyrinthulea) were detected for the first time as a major prey of C.

    Molecular Species Delimitation and Biogeography of Canadian Marine Planktonic Crustaceans by Robert George Young A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Robert George Young, March, 2016 ABSTRACT MOLECULAR SPECIES DELIMITATION AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF CANADIAN MARINE PLANKTONIC CRUSTACEANS Robert George Young Advisors: University of Guelph, 2016 Dr. Sarah Adamowicz Dr. Cathryn Abbott Zooplankton are a major component of the marine environment in both diversity and biomass and are a crucial source of nutrients for organisms at higher trophic levels. Unfortunately, marine zooplankton biodiversity is not well known because of difficult morphological identifications and lack of taxonomic experts for many groups. In addition, the large taxonomic diversity present in plankton and low sampling coverage pose challenges in obtaining a better understanding of true zooplankton diversity. Molecular identification tools, like DNA barcoding, have been successfully used to identify marine planktonic specimens to a species. However, the behaviour of methods for specimen identification and species delimitation remain untested for taxonomically diverse and widely-distributed marine zooplanktonic groups. Using Canadian marine planktonic crustacean collections, I generated a multi-gene data set including COI-5P and 18S-V4 molecular markers of morphologically-identified Copepoda and Thecostraca (Multicrustacea: Hexanauplia) species. I used this data set to assess generalities in the genetic divergence patterns and to determine if a barcode gap exists separating interspecific and intraspecific molecular divergences, which can reliably delimit specimens into species. I then used this information to evaluate the North Pacific, Arctic, and North Atlantic biogeography of marine Calanoida (Hexanauplia: Copepoda) plankton.
  • Seasonal Variability of Calanus Sinicus Brodsky in the Western South Yellow Sea

    Seasonal Variability of Calanus Sinicus Brodsky in the Western South Yellow Sea

    Xiao Wang*, Xin-Ming Pu and Ping Liu Seasonal Variability of Calanus Sinicus Brodsky in the Western South Yellow Sea Abstract: Inter-disciplinary investigations were conducted in the WSYS in 2006– 2007 to study the spatial and temporal variations of Calanus sinicus and its influenc- ing factors. The distribution of C. sinicus in summer varied from that in spring in accordance with the change of the temperature. The species aggregated in the YSCWM to elude the high abundance in the surface and coastal waters. In autumn, the bottom-up effect played a crucial role in the population size. The abundance at the stations in and adjacent the oceanic front was also relatively high. In winter, the highest abundance presented in Haizhou Bay which was related to the entrainment of the YSWC. The abundance was low south of 35 °N thanks to the transportation of the YSWC and the YSCC and relatively high abundance north of 35 °N was related to the jacking effect of the YSWC. Keywords: Distribution pattern; Seasonal variability; Calanus sinicus; South Yellow Sea 1 Introduction Calanus sinicus Brodsky is comprehensively studied in the northwest Pacific Ocean thanks to its extensive distribution[1]and common dominance in zooplankton com- munity [2–3]. Meanwhile, it is the main part of diets of predators with different sizes. Since it was chosen as the target species of China GLOBEC, its distribution in sum- mer [4], life history strategy [5], feeding [6] and reproduction [7] were studied in details in the western South Yellow Sea (WSYS). The Yellow Sea (YS) is a main population centre of this copepod.

Population abundance and structure were investigated by monthly sampling along three transects across the northern boundary of the YSCWM during 2009–2010. Results show that thermal stratifi cation existed from June to October and that the vertical thermal difference increased with depth. Generally, total abundance was lowest in October and highest in June, and the female/male sex ratio was highest in February and lowest in August. Evident spatial differences in abundance were observed during the existence of the YSCWM. In June, total abundance averaged 158.8 ind/m3 at well-stratifi ed stations, and 532.1 ind/m3 at other stations. Similarly, high abundances of 322.0 and 324.4 ind/m3 were recorded from July to August inside the YSCWM, while the abundance decreased from 50.4 to 1.9 ind/m3 outside the water mass.
