Seasonal patterns in mesozooplankton composition, vertical distribution, and timing of reproduction are challenging to study in the open sea due to ocean currents and mix of populations of different origins. Sill fjords, on the other hand, with restricted water exchange, are ideal locations for studying taxa- and community-specific adaptations to the prevailing environment. Here, we present re-occurring patterns in the mesozooplankton community structure in Billefjorden, Svalbard, a high Arctic sill fjord with extensive seasonal ice cover, based on monthly sampling from 2011 to 2013. The zooplankton community composition confirmed the Arctic character of this fjord. Predominantly herbivorous taxa, such as

高北极峡湾环境中的季节性中型浮游动物模式和生活史事件的时间安排
由于洋流和不同来源种群的混合,在公海中研究中型浮游生物组成、垂直分布和繁殖时间的季节性模式具有挑战性。另一方面,水交换受限的 Sill 峡湾是研究类群和群落对当前环境的适应的理想地点。在这里,我们根据 2011 年至 2013 年的月度采样,展示了斯瓦尔巴群岛 Billefjorden 的中型浮游动物群落结构中反复出现的模式,这是一个具有广泛季节性冰盖的北极高峡湾。浮游动物群落组成证实了该峡湾的北极特征。主要是草食性分类群,例如
