Zusammenfassung: | The coastal current, cyclonic eddy, and coastal upwelling are monsoon-driven ubiquitous physical processes operating along the continental shelf of the northwestern South China Sea (NWSCS). To explore their influence on the copepod community structure, zooplankton specimens were sampled in the NWSCS in the summer and winter of 2006. A total of 159 copepod species were identified from 50 genera, 25 families, and four orders. The number of species in summer was significantly higher than that in winter (t-test, t = 6.025, p |
