Novi podaci o copepodama u Kotorskom zalivu (Boka Kotorska, Jadran)

Abstract

U radu smo prikazali mesečna istraživanja planktonske zajednice Copepoda u Kotorskom zalivu. Kotorski zaliv karakterišu veoma specifični ekološki uslovi zbog slabog strujanja vode i jakih hidroloških uticaja s kopna. Kopepodska populaciju je monotona, tj. karakteriše je značajna abundancija vrlo malog broja vrsta, posebno tokom toplog dela godine.

In this contribution, we present monthly research of the planktonic community of Copepoda in the Kotor Bay. Kotor Bay is characterized by very specific ecologic conditions due to weak currents and strong hydrological influence from the mainland. Copepoda population is monotonous, i.e. characterized by significant abundance of a very small number of species, especially during the warm part of the year.
