Harpacticoida from a seasonal field survey in the White Sea

Citation

Description

Dataset originated from field surveys carried out from May to October 2001, to assess the seasonal variations in the population structure of four species of intertidal harpacticoids (Paraleptastacus kliei, Huntemannia jadensis, Heterolaophonte minuta, and Stenhelia palustris) at three sites in the middle intertidal zone of Chernorechenskaya Bay (White Sea) with different sediment compositions.

At different sites, the changes in the harpacticoid abundance, and the times and amplitudes of the peaks were different. The features of the local dynamics of the population are determined both by the intensity of its reproduction at the reproductive habitats and by the intensity of subsequent migrations. A comparison of the data available on the seasonal dynamics of the intertidal harpacticoids at various latitudes allows one to suggest that they are mainly determined by the temperature regime.
