Biodiversity of Copepods in the Southern Waters of Taiwan / 臺灣南部海域橈足類生物多樣性之研究

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 環境生物與漁業科學學系 / 99 / Spatial-temporal variation species components of copepod in the water of southern Taiwan were studied in the thesis. Zooplankton samples and hydrographic data were collected by plankton net and CTD on board of the “Fishery Research Ⅰ” at nine stations in four seasons. The samples of copepod were representing 193 species from 52 genera, 25 families, and four orders. It is including 128 calanoids, 14 cyclopoids, 48 poecilostomatoids, and six harpacticoids. Ten species dominated in warm water were identified by using SIMPER analysis, including Clausocalanus minor, C. furcatus、Oncaea mediterranea, O. venusta, Acrocalanus longicornis, Paracalanus parvus, P.aculeatus, Nannocalanus minor, Lucicutia flavicornis, Farranula gibbula. The abundance of copepod varied between 0.09 – 39.49 inds/m3. The seasonal average of species numbers was from 47.6 – 60.8. Shannon – Wiener diversity index (H’) and Pielous evenness (J’) were used to measure biodiversity. These two indices ranged from 4.91 – 5.30 (H’) and 0.8816 – 0.9010 (J’), respectively. As a consequence, copepods in the water of southern Taiwan revealed high degree of species diversity and obviously seasonal variation. It is suggested that the spatial-temporal variation of copepods in the study area are closely related to the current interaction between the South China Sea Warm Current and Kuroshio Current with seasons.
