Zooplancton

Abstract

La influencia de factores climáticos y oceanográficos sobre el zooplancton de la región norte y noroeste de la Península Ibérica fue analizada mediante cinco series temporales de observaciones de abundancia, composición específica y biomasa. Las series incluyeron la región oceánica próxima, representada por el área estándar F4 del Continuous Plankton Recorder entre 1960 y 2006, así como series costeras de Galicia (Vigo y A Coruña) y el mar Cantábrico (Cudillero, Gijón, Santander), muestreadas desde la década de 1990. En el océano se detectó un incremento interanual en biomasa y número de especies de copépodos entre 1960 y 1986, mientras que en la costa se detectaron incrementos en la abundancia y biomasa de algunas especies en Vigo y disminuciones de otras en A Coruña y Santander en los últimos años. Ninguna de las series del Cantábrico mostró tendencias ni ciclos en los valores interanuales de biomasa durante el periodo de observación. El plancton gelatinoso (medusas y tunicados) no mostró un patrón común a escalas locales, con incrementos en las medusas en Vigo y en los tunicados en A Coruña. La influencia climática y oceanográfica sobre este tipo de zooplancton parece resultar de modificar la proporción entre copépodos y plancton gelatinoso a partir de un efecto más directo del clima y las condiciones oceanográficas sobre los primeros. En Galicia el número y diversidad de especies de copépodos y su biomasa se incrementaron con la temperatura mientras que en el mar Cantábrico sólo se incrementaron en abundancia y ocupación espacial las especies de aguas cálidas (como Temora stylifera) mientras que las especies oportunistas típicas de afloramiento (como Acartia clausi) disminuyeron. La modulación local de los efectos del clima y del afloramiento sobre el zooplancton de la región sugiere la existencia de interacciones no lineales a largo plazo que favorecerían el mantenimiento e incluso el incremento de biomasa y diversidad de zooplancton a pesar de la tendencia a la disminución en el afloramiento observada en las últimas décadas. The influence of climatic and oceanographic factors on zooplankton in the northern and northwestern region of the Iberian Peninsula was analysed using five time-series of abundance, species composition and biomass. The series included the nearby ocean region, represented by the standard area F4 of the Continuous Plankton Recorder between 1960 and 2006, as well as coastal series from Galicia (Vigo and A Coruña) and the Mar Cantábrico (Cudillero, Gijón and Santander) sampled from the 1990s. An increase in biomass and species number of copepod species was detected in the oceanic region between 1960 and 1986. In the coast, however, the abundance and biomass of some species also increased in Vigo but decreased for other species in A Coruña and Santander in recent years. No long term trends or cycles were detected in any of the Mar Cantábrico biomass series. Gelatinous plankton (medusae and tunicates) did not show any common trend at local scales, having increased medusae in Vigo and tunicates in A Coruña. Climate and oceanographic factors appear to influence the ratio between copepods and gelatinous zooplankton through a larger effect of the environment on copepods. Temperature increased the number and diversity of copepod species in Galicia whereas in the Mar Cantábrico only warm tolerant species (as Temora stylifera) increased in abundance and spatial distribution while opportunistic species typical of upwelling waters (as Acartia clausi) decreased. Local modulation of climate and upwelling effects on zooplankton suggest non-lineal interactions favouring the sustaining and even increase of zooplankton biomass and diversity despite the decadal decrease of upwelling in this region.
