Biodiversity of Copepods in the Southeastern Waters of Taiwan / 台灣東南部海域橈足類多樣性之研究

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 環境生物與漁業科學學系 / 98 / We studied spatial and temporal species composition and distribution of copepods in the southeastern waters of Taiwan. Plankton samples and their corresponding hydrographic data were collected by plankton net and CTD on board of the “Fishery Researcher I” from five stations in four seasons. We recognized 211 species of copepods (including 147 calanoids, 12 cyclopoids, 46 poecilostomatoids, and six harpacticoids) in 49 genera, 23 families, and four orders. Seven warm water species, namely, Clausocalanus furcatus, C. mastigophorus, C. minor, Acrocalanus monachus, Farrnula gibbula, Oncaea venusta, and O. mediterranea, were found in all seasons and at every station. The range of copepod abundance was from 0.38 – 1457.11 inds/m3. Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H’) and Pielou’s evenness (J’) were used to measure biodiversity. In the present study these two indices ranged from 4.49-5.32 (H’) and 0.728-0.863 (J’). Furthermore several statistical analyses, such as MDS, Cluster, and ANOISM, indicated that the copepod species composition varied significantly with seasons and, probably because of the close association between the location of stations and Kuroshio Current, insignificantly with stations.
