Abstract

In order to explore the relationship between zooplankton community structure and environmental factors in the Oujiang River Estuary, four voyages were conducted in March (winter), May (spring), August (summer) and November (autumn) in 2021 to investigate the zooplankton and other environmental factors such as sea temperature, salinity and chlorophyll a concentration in the Oujiang River Estuary sea area. The results show that 78 species of zooplankton are identified, including 16 species of larva, it belongs to 8 classes and 14 categories , with the highest number of species in summer (47 species) and the lowest number in winter (23 species). The dominant species (Y ≥ 0.02) include Calanus sinicus, Sinocalanus sinensis, Acartia pacifica, and Centropages dorsispinatus, 17 species. The average annual abundance of zooplankton is (162.95 ± 310.96) ind./m³, and the average annual biomass is (118.85 ± 62.80) mg/m³. The abundance and biomass of zooplankton are the highest in spring and the lowest in autumn. The abundance in winter is higher than that in summer, and the biomass is lower than that in summer. The average annual Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H'), Pielou evenness index (J') and Margalef richness index (D) are 1.500 ± 0.702, 0.656 ± 0.270 and 2.301 ± 1.087, respectively. Spearman correlation analysis and canonical correspondence analysis show that sea temperature, salinity, Chl a concentration and phytoplankton abundance are important environmental factors affecting the dominant abundance of zooplankton in the Oujiang River Estuary. It provides scientific reference for the study on the influence of seasonal environmental changes on zooplankton in the Oujiang River Estuary, and provides basic data and theoretical basis for the sustainable development of biological resources in the Oujiang River Estuary.
