Zooplankton distribution across the brackish and freshwater zone of the Scheldt estuary
Zooplankton diversity and distribution in the brackish and freshwater zone of the Scheldt is studied, as a continuation of preceeding studies carried out in the periods 1967-1669 and 1995-1997. We report on species diversity and abundancy of the zooplankters, collected on a monthly basis, in 20 sampling sites along the salinity gradient. Calanoids occur mainly in the brackish part, with Eurytemora affinis , Acartia tonsa and Eudiaptomus gracilis as the dominant species. In the freshwater region, rotifers (i.e. Brachionus calyciflorus , Keratella quadrata , among others), cyclopids (i.e. Acanth... Mehr ...
