摘要: We investigated the longitudinal variations in zooplankton abundances and their related physicochemical properties at nine stations located between 136˚W 128˚W 10.5˚N northeastern Pacific summer 2004. Temperature, salinity, inorganic nutrients, chlorophyll-a (hereafter chl-a) (>200 ㎛) were sampled within depth from surface to 200 m 1˚ longitude intervals. Zooplankton samples vertically collected two intervals m, consisting of mixed lower layers (thermocline~200 m). Longitudinal distributional pattern hydrological parameters (especially salinity) was physically influenced by intensity westward geostrophic current passage relating NEC (North Equatorial Current). Data survey showed clear zonal distributions (temperature, salinity nutrients). However, spatial patterns chl-a concentrations mostly independent parameters. The peaks abundance layer characterized different controlling factors such as bottom-up control nutrients (129˚W) accumulation increment friction force taxonomic interrelationship (133˚ 134˚W). Divergence-related upwelling caused introduction into waters leading concentration (129˚W). Increased relation reduced flow rates currents drifting eastern study area Besides, high correlation immature copepods carnivorous groups chaetognaths cyclopoids also possibly contributed enhanced total (p<0.05). community divided three (A, B, C) which consecutively included peak (129˚W), western 134˚W) nutrient but low (136˚W). Moreover, Group B corresponded movement saline (<33.6 psu) 128 132˚W. In summary, factors: increased relationships among 134˚W), mismatch chlorophyll (136˚W) during period.
